Critic Reviews

Phil Hall, IdentityTheory
Brendan Gleeson's force of personality dominates the proceedings. As a historic document, however, the film leaves a lot to be desired.

I always enjoy a good biography, I guess...especially an historical one. Now this one wasn't the most exciting one, but it was interesting. I did learn alot about Winston Churchill that I never knew, so that's definitely a plus.
