Blitz

Sir Steve McQueen’s Blitz follows the epic journey of George (Elliott Heffernan), a nine-year-old boy in World War II London whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside. George—defiant and determined to return home to his mom and grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller) in East London—embarks on an adventure, only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son.

"McQueen’s film is big-picture British cinema, of a scale and depth which hasn’t been seen since Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk."
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
"There is an old-fashioned grandness to Blitz, charged by a cumulative sense of civic toughness and rebellious spirit that always spreads itself over a people, a city, or a country when they are collectively faced with unspeakable tragedies they have to endure."
Tomris Laffly, The Playlist
