Blitz

In World War II London, nine-year-old George is evacuated to the countryside by his mother, Rita, to escape the bombings. Defiant and determined to return to his family, George embarks on a journey back home as Rita searches for him.

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. – Observer
