	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"A robust star vehicle for Brian Cox, but otherwise underwhelming (...) With a functional script and modest budget that fails to match the grand sweep of its story."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Brian Cox plays Winston Churchill with blustery conviction in a decent, prosaic drama (...) 'Churchill' is a lively but somewhat repetitive movie"
		Robert Abele The Wrap	"More simplistic than enlightening (...) It feels less like an examination of a complex man under enormous pressure than a picture of an arrogant coot ready to be put out to pasture."
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"Brian Cox, in a towering, Oscar-caliber performance (...) A superb look at iconic statesman Winston Churchill’s torturous days"
		Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"[This] portrait shows the many sides of Winston (...) Cox looks remarkably similar to Churchill (...) He creates a consistent and deeply complex character (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"On the stage, it could be a powerful and moving work. As a movie, it’s a sometimes effective but more often tedious history lesson (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Alan Zilberman The Washington Post	"'Churchill' drags, as both history and entertainment (...) Frustrating (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Brian Cox turns in a solid performance (...) The film is too ponderously paced and conventional to make much of an impact."
