Darkest Hour Ratings & Reviews
- Lincoln and Blake Frank2 days agoDarkest Hour is powerful, focused, and genuinely immersive. Gary Oldman delivers an outstanding performance as Winston Churchill—you forget you’re even watching an actor. It’s not about action, it’s about the weight of leadership and the decisions that shape history. Darkest Hour absolutely delivers.
- Tom25 March 2025How did I get hooked on a movie about politics? No idea but this movie slaps.
- willyboy6812 April 2026Great movie that reveals the behind the scenes conflict among the British hierarchy. It also clearly shows what would have happened if Mr. Chamberlain had not stepped down from the office of Prime Minister.
- Richard Scott Long6 January 2026Great Movie! Oldman at hospital best! "Success is not final,failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts."
- Broomio4 December 2025Our future is currently not certain. Watching this film has reminded me that we can save our great nation. We can fight back, we can win as we have done in the past. It is the courage to continue that counts. A great film and passion from Oldman.
- dncallahan457028 September 2025Great interpretation of a trying time for Great Britain, Winston Churchill. Reason scrip, very well acted.
- PatrikStar22 August 2025Warmonger or war hero... the film leaves the question open, though the key scene unfortunately seems made up. Still, Gary Oldman delivers.
- martinstraka822 April 2025Wow! A great illustration of the burden and responsibility of power, and the toil and suffering it entails. To see a real leader at work in contrast to the monstrously idiotic and weak facsimile now dominating our continent creates inspiration and hope for all who are capable of seeing it.
- burtjohanson5 February 2025Gary Oldman is superb - giving a performance for the ages in this otherwise forgettable biopic.
- doctr2k2 February 2025Good movie
- Dad14 December 2024Classic military movie. Thanks God for Sir Winston Churchill.
