    A remarkable cast lends emotional richness to The Gathering Storm, an HBO movie about the life of Winston Churchill just prior to the onset of World War II. Faced with bankruptcy, his career in decline, Churchill (Albert Finney) is beset with depression until the impending danger of German rearmament--along with the British government's reluctance to recognize the threat of Hitler--gives him a cause that brings him back to energetic life. The movie focuses as much on the enduring relationship between Churchill and his wife, Clementine (Vanessa Redgrave), as his political struggles. But though The Gathering Storm clearly admires Churchill, it also acknowledges his tyrannical personality and astonishing ego, turning what could be a puff piece into a well-rounded and moving portrait. The truly topnotch cast includes Derek Jacobi, Jim Broadbent, Tom Wilkinson, Linus Roache, and Lena Headey, all of whom turn in superb performances. --Bret Fetzer

    5 out of 5 stars The Gathering Storm   February 6, 2010
    P. Hill (Virginia USA)
    Excellent portrayal of Churchill's life during the days right before the start of the war. The actor looked like Churchill and had his voice down perfect.


    5 out of 5 stars Superb historical drama   December 21, 2009
    Peter Silverman (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA)
    A brilliant re-creation of Churchill's political career in the 1930s, leading up to his appointment as First Lord of the Admiralty in September, 1939. It's both a political and psychological study; the performances by Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave are superb.


    5 out of 5 stars A film with dialog.   November 23, 2009
    Samantha (CA)
    My husband and I watched this and really enjoyed a movie with great acting and historical background. No car chases, nothing blowing up and dialog throughout instead of 2 hours of special effects and 5 minutes of stupid dialog.


    5 out of 5 stars This movie is all about the acting   October 28, 2009
    D. Braswell (Waco, GA)
    This movie is great because of the acting. I know that probably seems like the most retarded statement ever written, but Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave make this movie magical. They are two very gifted actors, probably the understatement of the century, that have the ability to enthrall their audiences. I never once during this movie found myself thinking, " Is this historically accurate?" Also, the musical score is outstanding. For me it was reminiscent of Nino Rota's work, very stirring and emotive.

    G. Devereux
    This is a masterpiece that makes history come alive, delves into the personal and professional life of a great man who was the central figure in the allies' defeat of Germany. Great for history buffs or anyone who loves a great and true story. Wonderfully cast! My only disappointment is that they have not continued this in a series following Churchill's memoirs.
