    Michael Gambon has proven time and time again to be one of the best actors around today. From his portrayal of LBJ to Winston Churchill, Gambon excels as an actor. Without Gambon, "Churchill's Secret" would have rated a 6 on my scorecard.

    Michael Gambon plays Churchill. The supporting cast is filled with British actors you may have admired before without knowing their names.

    [A] small and finely wrought film.

    [Churchill's Secret is] awash in a deadening sentimentality, in addition to much received wisdom on why the children of great men go wrong. ... Churchill’s Secret has its strengths, among them the setting--the majestic Churchill family home at Chartwell--and the fine cast, in particular Mr. Gambon. For his scenes with his special nurse, Millie (Romola Garai), a wholly fictional character, he manages a faintly wicked buoyancy that is, at times, the one thing that saves them.
