DramaHistory
— Critical consensus, summarised
A meticulous prestige drama about Churchill's first weeks in office, dominated by Gary Oldman's Oscar-winning, transformative turn under heavy prosthetics. Critics praised the performance and the white-knuckle War Cabinet scenes, while noting the film around it plays it safe.
