Into the storm

Followup to The gathering storm, with Alberty Finney as Winston and Vanessa Redgrave as Clementine. Brendan Gleeson overplays his role; then again, the script looks for nigh every Churchill cliché, and tries to stuff them all in. Len Cariou plays an unconvincing FDR, who comes off as second banana. Now, this is a film about Churchill, but FDR was never second banana to him. Janet McTeer was a revelation; her Clemmie was as good as imaginable, strong, not at all overplayed, convincing.
