The very first time I left the cinema early. Tonally awkward from the start - expected a historical drama rather than a comedy of manners - which would be fine if it had anything to offer beyond caricatures as antagonists and Gary Oldman's performance, which was a fine piece of work I believe, though I couldn't tell in the midst of this raging garbage fire of a movie. I'm still beyond surprised that even "We will fight them on the beaches", among the impactful speeches of the entire 20th century, falls flat. Avoid with a wide berth if you have any knowledge of the historical facts, enjoy movies that try not to hit every cliche in existence or generally prefer movies that go beyond pandering to the very lowest of lowest common denominators.
