[Directed by Joe Wright (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, Hanna), Darkest Hour follows Churchill immediately after his appointment as Prime Minister, as he agonises over whether or not to explore a negotiated peace treaty with the looming force of Nazi Germany. Gary Oldman stars as Churchill, with Kristin Scott Thomas playing his wife Clementine, and Ben Mendelsohn appearing as King George VI.

Looks like an Oscar-worthy performance by Oldman

Have you seen The Crown on Netflix? John Lithgow as Churchill was amazing.

I'm hooked. Oldman I'd probably the most underrated actor ever.

The "we shall fight on the beaches" speech is one of the few historical speeches that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

It is going to be awesome seeing that scene in this movie.

I'll watch it based on the fact that Stannis Baratheon is in it.

I'm a big Oldman fan but his performance seems really off from the trailer. He doesn't really sound like Churchill plus it seems like he's impersonating Churchill more than he is inhabiting Churchill.

Looks like another must see movie, should be pretty good watch.

Lithgow will likely win an Emmy for The Crown as well - best series Netflix has done from a historical perspective.

I'm loving it, really hoping historical/historical fiction makes a wave again.

Had the same thought. Oldman is probably one of the top actors on the planet. He could probably pull off Orgeron.

I didn't get that at all. And not inhabiting a character is not something Oldman is known for.
