Darkest Hour

During the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent, Britain faces its darkest hour as the threat of invasion looms. As the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman). While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds. Directed by Joe Wright, "Darkest Hour" is the dramatic and inspiring story of four weeks in 1940 during which Churchill’s courage to lead changed the course of world history.

This is another one of those movies that you know is a great movie as you are watching.  You know the acting is great.  You know it's going to be nominated for a ton of awards.  But I'm not that much into historical/biographical movies so I was bored out of my mind.  I appreciated how well done t was across the board but I just wasn't enjoying it.

I would still recommend people checking this out.  Anyone into these types of movies is guaranteed to like it and appreciate the performances.  I know it was a great movie.  It just wasn't my cup of tea.
