CHURCHILL follows Britain’s iconic Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the
days before the D-Day landings in June 1944. As allied forces stand on the
south coast of Britain, poised to invade Nazi-occupied Europe, they await
Churchill’s decision on whether the invasion will actually move ahead.
Fearful of repeating his mistakes from World War I on the beaches of
Gallipoli, exhausted by years of war, plagued by depression and obsessed with
fulfilling historical greatness, Churchill is also faced with constant criticism
from his political opponents; General Eisenhower and Field Marshal
Montgomery.
Only the unflinching support of Churchill’s brilliant, unflappable wife
Clementine can halt the Prime Minister’s physical and mental collapse and
help lead him to greatness.
Critic Reviews
“Churchill deserves a pat on the back for its production and an
almighty applause for its performances. All in all, it is a fascinating
watch.”
– Film Inquiry
“A deeply etched portrait of a man forced by duty to rise above his
own ego to serve his nation as its moral figurehead.”
– 3AW
“The film showcases a fantastic array of top-notch acting, spearheaded
by force-of-nature Brian Cox, who gives a tremendous performance as the
charismatic politician who inspired Great Britain to resist Adolf
Hitler.”
