Blitz

At a time when so-called colour blind period dramas are seen as a ‘win’, it feels all the more relieving to watch a film that tries its hand at honesty.

Drearily conventional yet often charming, Blitz chronicles the early days of British civilian turmoil during WWII.

Steve McQueen’s rousing wartime adventure is surprisingly old-fashioned.

It's a film of moments, some of which are really wonderful and beautifully shot.

...intense, horrific, and impressively cinematic.

... a pitched battle between the conventions and strangeness of war.
