A review of Darkest Hour, although it's really more of an article about actors who have portrayed Churchill, and Churchill himself. Ultimately, the author concludes that "The best person at playing Churchill, in the end, was Winston Churchill himself."

Very interesting and having Gary Oldman play Churchill is intriguing. He is a fine actor but I have trouble seeing him as Churchill. Thought Finney and Ward were really good but I will see the new version as I have always been a Churchill fan. Good article. Thanks for posting it, Brad. -- Al

Funny I listing to the radio at work this week and they were talking to Winston Churchill family about how they thought Gary Oldham played him and they said it was the best so far of him and his wife being played , can’t get a better recommendation than that !
