What People Are Saying
“THE BLITZ offers a riveting and consistently engrossing cultural and environmental backdrop against which to situate a dramatic narrative. The script offers a poignant commentary on the power of collective human resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity. THE BLITZ’s chances at making it to theaters or streaming services feel solid.”
— THE BLACKLIST
“The tenor is tense, tight, unsentimental, always compelling. I loved the competing unique flashbacks which subtly expose Roslyn as being the realist and Dennis the idealist. The voice behind THE BLITZ rings with passion for its subject, and there are definitely thrilling moments, particularly the tense 'huddle' sequences when the bombs are coming down.”
— ACADEMY NICHOLL
“Extremely evocative, perfectly capturing the mannerisms, expressions, and behaviors of Londoners of that era; effectively magnifying the quotidian in a manner which seems to elevate it into something almost sacred. The script’s main conflict is a battle between the characters’ abilities to keep going in the face of increasingly grating atrocities, slowly notching the limit of what they can take, drawn up in the greatest level of color and detail, with a really satisfying, albeit terrifying, atmosphere.“
— ScriptUp
“Nicely vivid portrait of life in London during the WWII Nazi air raids. Great sense of time and place. The script deftly conveys the sense of its characters going on with their lives, all their love and laughter and heartbreak; the rich lives and wealth of period detail create plenty of interest. Generally the script feels thoroughly researched and is brought to life with heart and style.”
— MAMMOTH LAKE FILM FESTIVAL
“This a really solidly written, evocative set of pages. I genuinely felt like I was in London in the early days of the Blitz—this script is going to fly!”
