Saoirse Ronan

Britain has fetishized the “Blitz spirit” mantra of keeping calm and carrying on, and if there was a filmmaker perfect for demythologizing the bombings, it’s Steve McQueen. That he doesn't is what makes Blitz so disappointing.

The trailer for Steve McQueen's World War II drama Blitz explores the horror of war through the story of a child sent away from home.

Saoirse Ronan mostly keeps The Outrun afloat in its choppy stretches, but the material doesn't begin to match the film's visual and sonic grandeur.

Steve McQueen's next film, the World War II-set period drama Blitz, will arrive on Apple TV+ this November.

Based on the best-selling memoir by Amy Liptrot, Saoirse Ronan stars in The Outrun as a recovering addict who returns home to the Orkney Islands. 

The 2020 film Ammonite is a sensitive, absorbing study about women's work and love, featuring a great cast and brilliant performances by Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan.
