Darkest Hour (2017)

Churchill fights with everyone after becoming a Prime Minister in this impeccably produced historical drama http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4555426/, stellar cast + superb editing, you'll feel like you are back in 1940.
A neat little moment when The Bulldog is feeding scraps to a Corgi under the table during lunch with the King.

I've not seen it, but just read a review by historian Andrew Roberts who likes the film in general, but is unhappy about its inaccuracy concerning Churchill's mindset. Apparently the film shows him having doubts about what to do, but in reality he never had any doubts - he had very publicly regarded Hitler as a menace for years, and was always aware that events would lead to war.

All the shots used in film of boat and not one with him in.

Tony, is it true that the King has considered going to Canada?
