Here is the thing: this is one of the best makeup jobs I have ever seen.
Seriously, look at these three Gary Oldman pictures.
I can believe that the guy in the middle is the same guy as the one on the right. But neither looks like the guy on the left. At least, to me. As I said, this is a whizzo makeup job; because while Gary Oldman doesn’t look like he normally does neither does he look like he’s wearing prostheses, or whatever they did to give him jowls and a wider face generally. It’s really very impressive, honestly.
Anyway, Darkest Hour is coming out during Thanksgiving, so I dunno when I’m going to see it.
I’m already thinking Oldman deserves an Oscar for this. It’s not just the look, he has the mannerisms and character of Churchill channeled.
