Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 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. May 14, 2025 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 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. May 14, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider Although it lacks a thematic polestar, Britain and the Blitz is nevertheless a refreshing account of familiar historical events. May 8, 2025 Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent ...what makes Ella Wright’s film so fresh and powerful lies in how images are married to sound effects and snatches of speech.

Matt K 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review jenny d 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Zachary M the film was AI Generated Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Samuel S Amazing documentary, the powerful human stories is what makes the film shine. Great must score !!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
