Do watch this if you enjoyed The Gathering Storm. There are obviously some differences because of the new cast.
This movie shows behind the scenes details of Winston Churchill's life during WW2 and after. Don't expect a portrayal of England in WW2 or you will be slightly disappointed. Instead it is interesting to people who want to find out details of Chuchill's life and his reactions to specific events.
Brendan Gleeson had a difficult task to fill Albert Finney's shoes. And he simply doesn't do as good a job. His physical appearance is further away from Churchill's and his mannerisms and voice aren't quite as good.
Janet McTeer is a bit young looking for the role. But she is perfectly adequate.
A bit of a let down as a war movie in its microscopic vision but then that is the point of it anyway. It's a biopioc and that's all.
