If you loved Shame, try Blitz

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Blitz has roughly 13.7× fewer votes than Shame — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Steve McQueen, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shame, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Blitz is

You board a train alone at nine, clutching a label tied to your coat. War rips London apart but you step off in the green hills and turn back. A child walks through blackout towns and shrapnel skies, while someone else walks the other way. The camera watches both paths, then follows the smaller one home.
