Movie Reviews of The Gathering Storm
Movie Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
Well,it is an English movie so of course there is male nudity and dark humor. Albert Finney, the man (the lawyer) from Erin Brockovich movie, has given us a stunning performance in this movie. He is Winston Churchil prior to second world war and before he became a prime minister. You should absolutely watch this movie - and when you do - you'll find out something you never knew about England and Nazis.
Appearantly English Government sold Hitler 8000 planes prior to WWII unbeknownst to them that Hitler would bomb England with the very same planes!
It is another "boring" English movie but it's worth watching it and I highly recommend it to all. There's so much to be learned from it!
Movie Review: Great actors portraying Great People
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a slice of the life of the wondrous Winston Churchill, a man who changed the course of recent history. Most of us have seen or heard of his political feats. This shows us the human side---his depression, "the black dog," his despair when he felt his life was over, his love of England--the land, even the animals, and especially his love for his wife, Clemmie. From the ashes of his despair he rose again to perform a heroic act the world will never forget.
How fortunate we are to have this rendering of his life, done to perfection by the amazing Albert Finney! I'd like to give it extra stars just for his performance.
Movie Review: Churchill Alive Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard that Albert Finney would play Sir Winston Churchill in "The Gathering Storm" I was disappointed and wondered how he could pull it off. Still I watched the movie and the first appearance of Mr. Finney on screen as the venerable and legendary British hero put all of my fears to rest. Winston was alive again. The same can be said for the performance of Vanessa Redgrave as Clementine Churchill.The movie is filled with facts about Churchill's activities leading up to war with Germany, his intelligence activities and his relationship with his wife and family. The film is a must have for all Churchillophiles.

Movie Review: The Gathering Storm
Summary: 5 Stars
Made for HBO and based on Churchill's memoirs, Richard Loncraine's sterling biopic deftly blends the drama of a brilliant but isolated figure whose prescience will usher in a glorious second act with a tender portrayal of marriage. Jim Broadbent, Linus Roache, and Sir Derek Jacobi (as Churchill's nemesis Stanley Baldwin) offer solid support, but ultimately the film is elevated by the chemistry generated between its two evergreen stars. With "Storm," we witness a truly great actor stepping into the shoes of a truly great man--and no surprise, the fit is perfect.
