Darkest Quote by Mary Katharine Ham
“In the end, 'Darkest Hour' tells the story of the near destruction of Western Civilization. 'Dunkirk' allows you to feel it in all its uncomfortable, confusing horror. You'll remember 'Dunkirk,' but if you watch 'Darkest Hour,' the moment in history and the people who defined it will stick with you, too.”
