Not a bad movie but I definitely expected more from it. The story was kind of…bland. This could have been a highly emotional film but for some reason it did not do anything for me in that department.

Saoirse Ronan is such a respectable lady. In my opinion, this is the most grown-up role she has played so far. She’s amazing in this movie. The movie itself is beautifully made. Nice cinematography and costume designs make it a treat to watch.

The best thing about this movie is the production design. And I liked the score, surprisingly, as I was expecting Hans to be on autopilot. The movie turned into Oliver Twist too oftenly. And the kid's acting was not good enough to carry the movie. Look up the french film "Forbidden Games" to see how a WWII movie starring kids is done. And the "can't we all just get along" moments hit like a hammer to the head.

They hijavked our war. Who you might ask? No single person in particular, not even the Director, Steve McQueen. Not a race of people or a culture. So who? The ultra left wing woke narrative plaguing our world today that influences this and many other woke films of the 2020s.

I thought this was a fi More

Shockingly basic and simplistic, especially from an acclaimed auteur like Steve McQueen, someone who hasn’t sheered away from digging to deep and uncomfortable places in the past. In a sense this feels like his big mainstream effort, it’s this prestige, Spielbergian war drama that’s easily pal More

"Blitz is technically competent and offers isolated moments of genuine emotion, but it falls short in character development and thematic exploration.

Major historic events often provide solid foundations for epic cinematic storytelling, although the success achieved at this depends greatly on the expertise of the writers and directors who execute these projects. One might readily expect such an outcome from a production chronicling the events sur More
