Winston Churchill's wilderness years prior to World War II, when only he could see the threat that Adolf Hitler and a rearmed Germany posed to Europe.
Where to Watch The Gathering Storm
- Survivor AlwaysJuly 29, 2026HBO knows how to make a good movie and this film is as good as you expect from HBO. I loved this viewpoint into Churchill and his wife’s relationship and also the view into the British government at this time. There is a lot to unpack after watching this film because you wonder if certain details had not been withheld from other members of the government (like Churchill), could Britain & the rest of the world had more time to prepare for what Hitler would do? Quite a thought provoking film and well portrayed by all involved.
- Scott and SharonJuly 28, 2025I have ALWAYS enjoyed seeing, and hearing, Albert Finney when he is spot on in a role. And here we see that. How he just can and has been, a titan of an actor. Enjoyable film.
