"Brian Cox dazzles in a scalpel-sharp, timely lesson in political leadership"
Daily Telegraph
"(Churchill)... emerges as a more ambiguous and human figure than we are used to seeing"
"...brilliantly posed by Churchill's opening scenes"
Sight & Sound
I don't know what newspapers you read CL but Churchill is a good 7-8 /10 film.
Not as good as Elle or Jackie or A Sense of an Ending but better than T2 or The Founder or A Quiet Passion.
Not a film I would want to own like those of Godard, Chabrol, Truffaut, Melville, Becker and even Peckinpah on a good day: but Churchill is a film that makes you think about the human condition, leadership, flawed heroes, the futility of human existence and life!
And all for the price of a ticket and 98 min 14 sec of your time!
