British Films for Summer 2017 Take Audiences Back in Time

Summer is prime movie season in part due to the lovely air-conditioned darkness that can transport you to different places and eras. And it would appear that this summer, British films will be doing just that.  The offerings range from the Victorian era to the Cold War and beyond. With an impressive list of actors paired with the many compelling, and often true, stories on offer, I predict you’ll want to make a point to see at least a few of these films.

In Churchill, Brian Cox stars as the legendary war-time prime minister. Set in June 1944 during the time leading up to the D-Day landings, we find Mr. Churchill under tremendous stress and uncharacteristically indecisive. Only through the support and strength of his wife Clementine (Miranda Richardson) does Winston find the inspiration to lead his country to victory. Churchill opens on June 2nd and is rated PG.
