Darkest Hour Ratings & Reviews
812filmreviews
Robert Daniels
Darkest Hour demonstrates the immense courage Churchill had. It doesn't fully absolve and deify him, rather humanizes.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
In Darkest Hour, Wright's charged, blustery framework pulls the audience into a distant political landscape. But his approach here is also limiting and nearly wearying.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Darkest Hour" is a straightforward, day-by-day depiction of world-changing events, told with meticulous simplicity.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
And yet for all that telling about how it was, the film feels much more like happy fantasy than detailed history, a fond look back on the lead-up to a moment of moral righteousness.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Gary Thompson
Churchill, by way of Darkest Hour, hands the actor some of the best speeches of his career, and Oldman brings them vividly to life.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
A nagging question persists throughout Darkest Hour: Is Oldman's compulsively meticulous turn here anything more than a brilliant impersonation?
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Darkest Hour" is a one man show for Oldman. And what a show it is.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Oldman disappears into the role...and Kristin Scott Thomas is impeccable in showing us Clementine's elegance and resolve.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Darkest Hour invites viewers inside the heart and mind of a great leader but never really captures his deep rapport with the British people, which turned out to be one of his greatest political assets. Dunkirk takes a more populist approach.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Far from being a dry biopic, "Darkest Hour" reminds us that some things - such as honor and freedom - are worth fighting for.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
As played by [Gary] Oldman, Churchill has perhaps never seemed greater. Or more human
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Buried under pounds of makeup, puffing cigars as if his life depended on it and railing against the Nazis (Nazzis in his pronunciation) at every turn, Oldman is terrific.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The main attraction here is Gary Oldman as Churchill. As an act of physical transformation and emotional expression, it's something close to supernatural.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Darkest Hour" pulls from both extremes of Oldman's prodigious but often unexploited skill set, the subtlety as well as the flamboyance.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
As a portrait of leadership at its most brilliant, thoughtful and morally courageous, "Darkest Hour" is the movie we need right now.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Darkest Hour" is a persuasive window into history, and so arresting in its portrait of one of the 20th century's most important leaders that every minute of it is absorbing.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Darkest Hour" is good, glib entertainment.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Oldman's interpretations of the great man's speeches elevate this film...
The Ringer
K. Austin Collins
Oldman is quite special, nevertheless. It's a performance that's as technically astonishing as it is, simply, fun to watch.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
While "Darkest Hour" is a showcase for Oldman's incredible performance, Wright's aesthetic visually transports the viewer, the images heavy with subtext and meaning.
