At the Movies: Darkest Hour

Paul Willistein of the Lehigh Valley Press reviews the war drama, "Darkest Hour" from director Joe Wright.

In "Darkest Hour," Prime Minister Winston Churchill (an almost unrecognizable Gary Oldman, a Screen Actors Guild actor nominee, Golden Globe actor recipient and a deserved Oscar actor nominee for the role) rallies the Parliament and the British people as Great Britain hovers on the brink of World War II.

Director Joe Wright ("Anna Karenina," "Atonement," "Pride & Prejudice") conveys the mood and importance of a crucial time in the history of England and the world.
