Very nice to see this side of this story because i got a greater understanding of Churchill. The movie had good cinematography and i thought Gary oldman did a good job.

People glaze Gary Oldman in this but I kinda didn’t care for him here. He does this stupid voice the whole time that sounds more like a caricature. Whole thing was not my cup of tea Dunkirk maybe I was too hard on you…
