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.

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.

Although it lacks a thematic polestar, Britain and the Blitz is nevertheless a refreshing account of familiar historical events.

...what makes Ella Wright’s film so fresh and powerful lies in how images are married to sound effects and snatches of speech.
