Movie review. Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman.

Very understated biopic of Churchill. His abilities and influence were alluded to, not spelled out. I would like a movie exploring how Churchill handled the group think regarding strategy in regard to Dunkirk. And how was it the military and politicians were so naive regarding the psychology of people like Hitler and Mussolini.

Gary Oldman was really good.
