Darkest Hour

DARKEST HOUR (2017)

I love films like this. I love the insights into conversations that changed the world we’d never ever be privy. Same applies to The Crown. I eat it up!

Joe Wright is a class act. You can always rely on his films to be of good stock! And it’s always fun to spot his signature tracking shots.

Obviously Oldman is clearing up the awards but as a team they all shine. Kristen Scott Thomas is always a chilly upper class delight. Lily James keeps glowing and Ben Mandelsohn proceeds on his ascent to filmic treasure (if you’ve not watched Bloodlines on Netflix treat yourself).

All in all a fascinating and terrifying watch. And a real testament to going with your gut!

8 thumbs up!
