Blitz

“It’s a period documented, honoured, and reinterpreted a hundred times on screen before. Yet it’s what [Steve McQueen] sees and how he sees it, as one of Britain’s most extraordinary filmmakers, that makes Blitz feel monumental.”
★★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, Independent

“... A thrilling, moving, morally provoking odyssey through Britain at war, with a flock of vividly sketched supporting characters that buffet George from one adventure to the next.”
★★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

“... A film that unfolds as a breathtaking love letter to a complex and cosmopolitan city on the brink of collapse.”
★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times

“McQueen—a director who understands we can only look forward by looking back—gives us a new lens through which to examine WWII in this masterful film.”
★★★★ Emily Zemler, Observer

“Its curiosity is its strongest suit, as McQueen’s script lays bare divisions that see working-class families barred from taking shelter in Tube stations, socialism taking root underground, and racism rife.”
★★★★ Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

“Blitz is a series of beautifully composed episodes, methodical rather than pacy.”
★★★★ Nick Curtis, London Evening Standard
