“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
“This is Steve McQueen’s most accessible film to date, without diluting any of his power. Mixing epic sweep with textured detail, despite an episodic second half it will make even the stiffest upper lip quiver.”
★★★★ Ian Freer, EMPIRE Magazine
“Blitz is a series of beautifully composed episodes, methodical rather than pacy.”
★★★★ Nick Curtis, London Evening Standard
