I thoroughly enjoyed this movie as, for a change, it was not full of thrills and spills but based itself on one man's story leading up to the Second World War ... and that man was Winston Churchill. I note that a previous reviewer reported that this film as being inaccurate ... well this may be the case I'm not an historian, but the film is about Winston and Clementine Churchill and not about Baldwin and MacDonald. It is a known fact that Churchill warned Parliament time and time again about Germany's rearming following the rise of Nazism and this is what 'Gathering Storm' is all about. Albert Finney was excellent in the part of Winston Churchill - I only wish that a sequel had been made that follwed the same cast and characters through the War Years. Well recommended.
