Movie Reviews of The Gathering Storm
Movie Review: SUPERB
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie on HBO and it was such a moving and superbly acted film of Churchill the man that I had to buy it. I suggest buy it now today and watch it over and over as I have done. Not just for the subject matter but the kind of acting that deserves, DEMANDS the higest of praise. Alber Finney is so outstanding that I was sure I was watching Churchill in the flesh. The movie music adds to this truely outstanding film. It's a shame that this classic will not be seen on movie screens, what a winner.

Movie Review: Finney does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
From Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express to Leo in Miller's Crossing, Albert Finney has a similar reputation to Morgan Freeman. Almost any film he turns up in is worth your time. His Churchill is a joy to watch, more than once. You can follow the story and learn about Winston, or you can watch to see Finney's great acting. It doesn't hurt that Vanessa Redgrave's in it too. The scene I enjoy most is Winston's plea to make up with his Clemmie after a spat! Shows Churchill was as soft as a marshmallow when it came to his wife.Movie Review: This movie is all about the acting
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great because of the acting. I know that probably seems like the most retarded statement ever written, but Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave make this movie magical. They are two very gifted actors, probably the understatement of the century, that have the ability to enthrall their audiences. I never once during this movie found myself thinking, " Is this historically accurate?" Also, the musical score is outstanding. For me it was reminiscent of Nino Rota's work, very stirring and emotive.Movie Review: Great film for our times
Summary: 5 Stars
The Gathering Storm is an excellent, entertaining portrayal of Churchill's daily life as family man and political leader. He is accurately shown as a man with weaknesses like any other but who had the character and strength to stand and deliver. It is a movie that more people should watch in these days in which people have so little backbone and hide from debate and truth. It is worth buying --it's a movie you can watch again and again.Movie Review: Where are these Giants today?
Summary: 5 Stars
Albert Finney gives a stand-out performance as the old, crusty English hammer that is prime example of the definition of a great man. The story is inspiring beyond emotional, the acting is great through and through, the story (given that that it is the event leading to the event) accurate, and as for the dvd, it's inexpensive, well -produced, and has everything you can ask for in a viewing experience. 5 stars all the way.
