Director Ella Wright does a nice job of blending archival footage and applying all the digital tricks perfected by Peter Jackson and others in bringing the past to life. Go to Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media May 14
What Britain and the Blitz does well is recall a time of stress and worry in the history of Great Britain and the largely indomitable spirit it temporarily produced in response. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider May 8
Although it lacks a thematic polestar, Britain and the Blitz is nevertheless a refreshing account of familiar historical events. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent May 6
...what makes Ella Wright’s film so fresh and powerful lies in how images are married to sound effects and snatches of speech. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kristoffer H Aug 20 Britain and the Blitz tells some personal stories, but doesn't really tell you about the event or how Britain reacted, though I might just have started with the wrong expectations about what the it was about. It also uses ai which I didn't really like. See more dave b Jul 19 Loved it. Great gob with colorisation. Good story telling. See more Matt K May 9 While Britain and the Blitz offers some compelling personal stories, it misses the mark when it comes to delivering substantial information about how Britain defended itself during the conflict. The focus on relationships overshadows the strategic and military aspects, leaving the documentary feeling somewhat shallow. It’s a watchable film, but it ultimately lacks the depth and substance expected from such a pivotal historical topic. See more jenny d May 9 I could not get past the AI generated scenes… I can’t tell for sure if they were but the “romantic scenes” felt very off and fabricated… took me out of it. Much rather have some real. The premise is good and I liked the angle the director took. See more Zachary M May 7 the film was AI Generated See more Samuel S May 7 Amazing documentary, the powerful human stories is what makes the film shine. Great must score !!! See more Read all reviews
