Blitz

An authentic and astonishing recreation of London during its blitzkrieg by the Germans during World War II. The story of “Blitz” is told from the parallel perspectives of working-class single mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) and her 9-year-old son, George, as they become separated after George is evacuated to the countryside. Alternately overwhelming and tender, director Steve McQueen’s dazzling film offers a multicultural portrait of 1940s London too infrequently seen on screens.
