Critic Reviews for Hope and Glory

Hope and Glory is an enormous success right now in England, where every frame must have its special memories for British audiences. Through American eyes, it is a more universal film, not so much about war as about memory.
A so interesting film that intelligently draws a thorny terrain, that of mixing tragedy, based on a real dramatic event such as a great war, and fable. [Full Review in Spanish]
..a mixture of farce, tragedy, and boredom in the face of a vague, unknowable existential threat.
Nostalgic look at London during WWII has sex, mature themes.
The precision of the characters and the performances that John Boorman draws out of his actors make this a pleasure even when when it's a bit pokey and aimless.
The Blitz as a comedy: Director John Boorman offers a warmly nostalgic view of his childhood in a London suburb during WWII.
Audience Reviews for Hope and Glory
Simply one of the best growing up movies out there. Stands the test of time.
Super Reviewer
Time has only strengthened the appeal of this minor masterpiece. If you liked it 25 years ago you'll absolutely love it now.
Super Reviewer
War time movie about a boy and his family during the London blitz. The Germans bomb London during the World War II, families homes are destroyed, neighbours die and people are displaced. Even with the war around them, they find time for family, fun and celebrations.
