I saw this at Chicago Film festival last week. I really liked it also. Joseph is buff AF. Also it was watching your reviews and mentioning film festivals that got me to go all in with Chicago International Film Festival. Thank you. I saw Vermiglio and others that you had mentioned!
UK hon! Thanks for the review, you've been really busy these last few days!! Of note, McQueen is brilliant at bringing unspoken histories to the fore. So the conversation you both had about George not truly understanding his heritage is (I imagine) actually essential to the plot. Meanwhile, great shout about the wonderful Kathy Burke. If you ever get a chance, see if you can find Gimme Gimme Gimme on streaming. It's a 30 min sitcom she starred in (I want to say late 90s) xxx
The London "Blitz" is not the same thing as the word Blitzkrieg. The London Blitz, was the bombing of London during WWII, by German planes. Blitzkrieg is the German term for lighting or fast war.
