The Gathering Storm charts the course of events from Winston Churchill's Wilderness Years during Baldwin's National Government in the mid-to-late 1930s, until his return to office as First Lord of the Admiralty at the outbreak of the Second World War.
= PLOT SUMMARY =
Winston Churchill has become a backbencher, increasingly ridiculed as yesterday's man, a man of no-judgement and a war-monger. It is the mid-1930s, and no-one seems to have any stomach to confront the rising threat from Hitler's Germany. Churchill desperately seeks solace during his Black Dog moods at Chartwell, writing prolifically to pay the bills, while casting around for ways to draw the public's attention to the very real danger he senses.
This film charts Churchill's struggles through these dark times, where he gets assistance from well-placed people ...

The Film:
This is a film that is extremely hard to categorise. I think the best comparison I can draw is to a soap opera but with a lot more effort put into character.
The film centres of the behaviour of various people (mostly members of two families) over the period of a few days in the 1970s. Events build to a climax when temperatures drop and they experience one of the worst Ice Storms in history.
It is very hard to decide whether this is a film of absolute genius and a work of art or just a collection of short purely linked scenes. There is very little plot and I find this quite hard to bear for two hours only to get no resolution at the end.
The Ice Storm itself is an anti-climax and whilst it sets the mood to some extent I really feel it could have been used to much greater affect.
The films biggest failure is ...
