Andre_QuallsJuly 4, 2025Emotionally resonant and quietly devastating, the film doesn’t treat war as something distant or outdated. Children around the world are still facing similar threats of displacement and loss even today.

Candace_RogersJuly 1, 2025I expected a slow, somber war film, but it’s anything but boring. In fact, I wouldn’t even call it a war film—it feels more like a disaster movie or survival story. By following one boy’s experience, it paints a vivid picture of how WWII shattered the everyday lives of Londoners.

Ricardo A. Franco FaríasDecember 11, 2024
Ricardo A. Franco FaríasDecember 11, 2024'Blitz' es una película impactante, que narra una travesía entre personajes dickensianos a través de un drama histórico bélico y familiar fuerte y, en partes, conmovedor. Visualmente impresionante, no solo en cuanto a planos y a un dinámico trabajo de cámara, si no también por la gradación de colores y la iluminación. Además, excelente banda sonora. Gran actuación por parte de Elliot Heffernan, y destacada también Saoirse Ronan. Además, muy buena dirección por parte de Steve McQueen, transformando el filme en un estudio interesante sobre el racismo y la identidad.
