Kristen Scott Thomas is wonderful as the brittle but strong Clementine Churchill.

And Lily James did a great job in what is actually a difficult role to do well, the ingenue secretary. Great in the scene where she has to explain why Churchill's backwards "Victory" sign (two fingers) might be interpreted as "Up your bum!"
