'Blitz' review: Steve McQueen's World War II epic dazzles but ultimately disappoints

Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

Steve McQueen's World War II epic is among the most well-crafted films of the year .

Too often, this story of a mother and son weathering the Blitz in London falls into clichés that smother any elements setting it apart from other films portraying this era.

Even Ife gets in on the action, with a monologue about how racism and division within one shelter is no different than what the Germans want.

The film crams so much into its two-hour run that it feels like it's trying to be too many movies at once.

If Blitz 's story sometimes falters, at least these moments are riveting to experience.
