For all its fanciful silliness, this is an interesting and original study of a magnificent but unsaintly man raging in the dark against the dying of the light. June 18, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

As this drama begins... the British prime minister is silhouetted on the horizon, a hunched, rotund figure, with his black Homburg, overcoat and cane, giving perhaps the first sign that this film will take the iconic and turn it into clich. June 15, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

But as noble as the intentions of this minor biopic may be, it struggles to overcome a strange goofiness that all too frequently peaks out from behind the drama. March 25, 2020 | Full Review…

The reason to see it is Brian Cox, who gained a substantial amount of weight and leans full bore into the role. Cox roars and blusters. April 17, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…
