Considering the colossal historical footprint of the real-world story it tells, "De Gaulle" should have been an occasion equal parts immersive and high-stakes, but Le Bomin's tedious drag fails to rise to it.

Wilson makes a very plausible de Gaulle. He has the height, the slimness and the posture and once he has the uniform on, it's easy to overlook the fact that he's much too handsome for the part.

A bland piece of hero worship.

Considering the turbulent historical period it depicts, this tedious biopic fails to sufficiently heighten the stakes.
