IMDb plot summary: In May 1940, the fate of Western Europe hangs on British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who must decide whether to negotiate with Adolf Hitler, or fight on knowing that it could mean a humiliating defeat for Britain and its empire.
Directed by Joe Wright. Starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Mendelsohn, and Lily James.
There's nothing overtly *bad* about this movie, but it's not exciting either. Especially compared to Dunkirk, which I didn't love much either, but it was at least a more unique way of telling the story. Every moment of this movie feels like the most obvious, unoriginal choice there could be. Again, not actively bad, just nothing creative in its storytelling.
1 star.
