Darkest Hour (2017 Joe Wright)

Well, he's recovered his status in my opinion, with this. Anthony McCarten's script focuses on a few days at the beginning of Churchill's government. Oldman is terrific as Churchill, Lily James's character never really feels quite integrated. Bruno Delbonnel contributes 'Darkest Film'. Dario Marienelli's score isn't up there with his best, Valerio Bonelli edits ruthlessly. The makeup won Oscar/ BAFTA as well.

With Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Mendelsohn, Ronald Pickup, Stephen Dillane, Samuel West, Joe Armstrong and David Strathairn's voice.

Scene with Churchill on board Underground train is the highlight.
