Product Description

Into the Storm is a biographical film about Winston Churchill as he leads Britain into World War II. The movie is directed by Thaddeus O'Sullivan and stars Brendan Gleeson, who plays the former British Prime Minister. Into the Storm is a sequel to the 2002 TV movie, The Gathering Storm, which details on the life of Churchill in the years just prior to the war. Also starring Janet McTeer (Five Days), James D’Arcy and Patrick Malahide.

Amazon.com

Into the Storm follows British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Brendan Gleeson, 28 Days Later) as he launches ferociously into World War II. The movie’s greatest strength comes from a shifting back and forth in time, portraying Churchill’s post-war life as well, when the very qualities that made him so effective as a military leader threaten both his career and his marriage. Anyone seeking a detailed analysis of the war will be disappointed; Into the Storm skips through history, less interested in the ebb and flow of combat than the weighing of decisions and the composition of speeches. Although this may sound uncinematic, Gleeson does a remarkable job articulating Churchill’s creative thoughts as he walks to and fro in his bedclothes, mulling over the right phrase to sustain his country’s morale, or facing FDR and Stalin across a table, working to shape an effective alliance. Janet McTeer (Tumbleweeds) is even better as Clementine Churchill, a woman who never sought the political life yet strove to support her belligerent, passionate husband as best she could. Written by Hugh Whitemore (author of Breaking the Code and The Gathering Storm, to which this is a sort of sequel), Into the Storm is a complex, well-rounded portrait, capturing how courage and indomitability can, in peacetime, turn brutish and bullying. --Bret Fetzer

Churchill's political career during and after WWII

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

Into The Storm was the follow up to The Gathering Storm, both HBO movies. This time Brendan Gleeson played Winston Churchill as the story flashes back and forth between the start of World War II with Dunkirk and immediately after the conflict was over when his fate was up in the air with parliamentary elections. They’re connected because they were both low points for Churchill.

First off, Gleeson largely plays a restrained Churchill. There are small bits of anger like yelling at his butler, but otherwise this is a prime minister who is mostly thinking and writing about the war and the election. Into The Storm had Albert Finney do Churchill and he and the writing was much better. Finney played Churchill as an old curmudgeon which was more appealing.

Second, because the movie spans 5 years it can only cover so much and a lot gets left out as a result. Still it paints a picture of Churchill facing the defeats at the start of WWII, his highs as the war is won, and then a low again in the vote. That’s the story arch they wanted to cover how someone with such a large personality and role in modern history could lose after his greatest victory. The point is this isn’t about World War II but Churchill’s political career.

Great acting, middling script, production left wanting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

As a writer myself, I understand what the scriptwriter was going for. But the visual transitions in the actual production just weren't clear enough to indicate when the story was switching between the actual war years and the 1945 election. Even a small device such as a date title over at the beginning of each scene would have done the job. As is, it's just confusing and makes the viewer work too hard.

I also agree that some very important events in the timeline of Churchill's ascent to power, and even smaller but still really significant things like how he came by his trademark "V for victory" hand signal, we given too short shrift in the script. Honestly, I think this is also a production issue. I wouldn't have wanted to be the scriptwriter told to try to shoehorn everything into the too-brief run time of this movie. It just wasn't enough time to adequately tell this story.

Most of all, I thought the casting was brilliant. Someone above complained that Brendan Gleeson's Churchill was too one-dimensional, but the truth is, by all accounts, that IS how he presented himself. He was as PR-savvy as they come for that time, and he understood the value of masking his true feelings when necessary. Most of all, he was loathe to show sadness or other such emotions, knowing the pack of wolves that were just waiting to tear him down as a weak PM in the Parliament. And Iain Glen was spot-on as King George; something of a dandy and perhaps not quite up to his role as king and all too aware of that. But I thought the real gem in this cast was Janet McTeer. She's right up there with Dame Judi and Dame Maggie in the acting chops department. Like those venerable actresses, she understands the power of restraint, and I have yet to see her in ANY production where she doesn't just nail it, and this is no exception. I think they all made the very best of a middling script and production that was simply no match for its subject matter. Overall, quite watchable at any rate.

Outstanding dramatic film of the war years and post war years of Sir Winston Churchill

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

HBO Films produced and released this excellent film staring Brendan Gleeson as Sir Winston Churchill from around 1938 to the post World War II years. Mr. Gleeson does an outstanding job of portraying Winston Churchill in his triumph, his courage, his stuborness, his falacies, his focus, and his love for his family and country. Winston Churchill was often crass, often short tempered, but always focused in achieving his goal of defeating NAZI Germany and saving the British Empire. Mr. Gleeson portrays all of these characteristics that were prevelant in Churchill. The supporting actors of this film also do an outstanding job of showing what Churchill's family and friends were going thru during the war years. This film does not dwell on specific years of World War II, but jumps ahead from 1938-1940 the beginning of the war, Dunkirk, and The Battle of Britain, to 1941 when the USA enters the war and you see the beginning of the friendship between Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to the Normandy Invasion of 1944, to the triumph of Great Britain when Germany surrenders in 1945. Between these film eras you see Churchill at the Tehran Conference when he, Roosevelt, and Josef Stalin meet to discuss the Normandy Invasion, to the Yalta Conference in 1945 when you see Churchill with a declining FDR courting Josef Stalin. Then the post-war years when Churchill was defeated as Prime Minister and the Labor Party was victorious over the Conservative Party. Winston Churchill was a "war minister" who led his country bravely during World War II, after the war thhough he was "out of touch" with public opinion and hurt his career in politics when he compared the Labor Party to the Gestapo of Nazi Germany. This truely hurt his reputation with the British People and his wife warned him not to make that remark during a radio broadcast. But, he did and it cost him in post-war politics.
This is an outstanding movie that is suprebly acted by all, great sets and locations, and an interesting story of the triumph of Sir Winston Churchill portrayed excellently by Brendan Gleeson. Well worth 5 stars! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent film. ( plays in English with no subtitles)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

This film has a more factual and less dramatic feel than ‘the gathering storm’ but is well written and acted and absorbing from start to finish. It is wider ranging and covers aspects of the period not covered by other similar films for example Churchill’s relationship between other leaders such as ‘Bomber Harris’ and Stalin. Just to make it clear although the DVD sleeve is not in English (apart from the title) the film loads and plays straight away in English with no selection required and without subtitles.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 13, 2018

Brendan Gleeson's tale on Churchill was good and I did enjoy seeing him take on the role. Not how many actors play the Great Man it always fascinates me how they tackle it. I do not mind too much if they only vaguely resemble the man it is what they do with the writers words and how they carry off the physical interpretation. I have to say that Brendon Gleeson gets an A- not because he did anything wrong I just felt he was not entirely happy wth his performance and he seemed to show this in his body language. I will watch it again and may well review it but it was above average but only just.

Convincing portrayal

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this when it was shown on TV a few years ago and as has been mentioned, I don't understand why this DVD isn't available in the UK. Like its predecessor The Gathering Storm, a lot of it is an abridged dramatisation of Churchill's own multiple-volume memoirs 'The Second World War'. It's a very well produced overview of Churchill's wartime premiership and Brendan Gleeson's performance of the man himself is very convincing.

Not up to the original

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Whilst it's a perfectly enjoyable way to pass an hour and a half it's pretty thin stuff compared to the original 'The Gathering Storm' with Albert Finney - that was in a completely different league and Finney's performance may just be the definitive screen depiction of Churchill. Brendan Gleeson is one of the finest screen actors around, but this is not him at his best.

Brilliant. Watch it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

Buy the Italian version if you want to view this excellent film in the UK Ireland and in English generally. I'm from Ireland and a Winnie fan, so watching The Irish actor Brendan Gleeson portray the most famous Englishman was a double bonus. But, what idiot mind decided not to release this film directly to the British market. A definite shot in the foot decision.
