Darkest Hour

Translated from swedish: Despite brilliant acting, "Darkest Hour" takes some easy shortcuts, especially the last 20 minutes don't quite hold up, but overall this is storytelling at the highest level, with an acting performance you rarely get to witness.

Translated from swedish: Blood, sweat, toil and tears. It's refreshing in an era when politicians seem incapable of giving straight answers and dodge taking responsibility.

Translated from swedish: You don't really learn anything new from watching "Darkest Hour", so ultimately it's mainly for those who enjoy the era or want to see a fantastic portrayal by one of our time's greatest actors.

Translated from swedish: You can't take your eyes off what Gary Oldman is doing, how he slurs and squints and gestures. It's not without overacting but it's consistently so much more interesting than the actual plot.

Translated from swedish: Although Gary Oldman's performance does enough to keep the film on safe ground rating-wise, I wish there was more to the story itself. In the film, parliament talks about all the British lives at stake - the numbers are truly astronomical. But I'm not moved by their efforts in the war, and this can only be because we're not with the poor soldiers out there on the battlefield.

Translated from swedish: Winston Churchill's fight against Nazi Germany takes center stage, but Gary Oldman's revenge on the Oscar jury is the elephant in the room that threatens to overshadow half the movie screen.

Translated from swedish: "Darkest Hour" depicts Churchill's early days in power. The film is permeated by moderately clever exchanges, but at times the Oscar-nominated film becomes more than appropriately demonstrative.

Translated from swedish: Rather than a captivating drama, this is a glorified parade in honor of an old patriarch.
