Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- The film is about the difference between the man and the icon.
Empire
Rating: 5/5 --
This approach has the capacity to make its subject appear a repellant and even pathetic figure, but for avoiding that fate we can largely thank Cox for a magisterial and empathetic performance that gets under the leader's skin.

Limelight
These movies tend to have a tenuous basis in fact.

The New York Review of Books
CHURCHILL, a new movie directed by Jonathan Teplitzky from a script by Alex von Tunzelmann, is laudable in its effort to shine a light on the Churchill who struggled in private with crippling depression...
New York Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Cox is well suited to playing this character (Churchill ) and though he is not the first, nor maybe the best, he does well to portray the iconic and beloved man.

FlickDirect
3 stars out of 4 -- Brian Cox is a marvel of an actor, and to watch him tear into the role of Winston Churchill is not to be missed. This is a version of the venerable British Prime Minister we haven't seen before.
Rolling Stone
Miranda Richardson plays Churchill’s wife, Clemmie, shrewdly: imperious, exasperated, gimlet-eyed.
The Guardian
Product Description:
This historical drama portrays Winston Churchill (Brian Cox) on the eve of D-Day, as he grapples with his fears that the invasion will be a disaster akin to the Battle of Gallipoli during WWI. With time running out, his military allies and his wife (Miranda Richardson) must persuade him to go ahead with the operation. John Slattery, Ella Purnell, James Purefoy, and Julian Wadham co-star. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky.
