Reviews

It feels alive and fresh -- the kind of cinema that doesn't waste a second.

Sasha Stone, TheWrap

Balances the great orator's public triumphs with more vulnerable private moments of self-doubt, elevating the inner workings of British government into a compelling piece of populist entertainment.

Peter Debruge, Variety

Darkest Hour showcases a performance by Gary Oldman that is so good, you'll often forget you're watching an actor working from a script.
