The movie drew me to check out a piece of history that has been sketchy. It's a small holiday that breezes by. This movie makes it real. I know parts are fictional but it's more than it was. I never expected to see how important weather prediction was to the decision to go to battle. I never expected to see that a strong woman was the support behind the decision makers. The elements of the movie - set, acting, music, writing - were all excellent. And a unusual sight for a serious film was a very full and responsive audience. Bravo.

The entire cast did a phenomenal job and the script is written excellently. When the movie ended it felt like I had just sat down.
Who knew a movie about a weather report would be this gripping.

The story was gripping and kept me engaged to the end. The acting was really good, especially by Brendan Fraser as IKE (who would have thought?, but he nailed it). This is about an underappreciated element in the Allies D-Day invasion, the weather.

As someone who eschews war movies, and that I only chose it to see Andrew Scott who is fire in everything he does, and that I had no idea it was a war movie, every aspect of this movie was brilliant: writing, director, cast, crew, DOP, music. I expect to see Pressure on the Oscar list. Highly recommended.
