    “Erik Poppe’s Quisling: The Final Days interrogated Norway’s wartime history via a much-praised portrait of the eponymous former minister for defence, whose name became a byword for traitorousness when he collaborated with the Nazis.”

The evidence shows that Blitz is a WWII film released in 2024 (E1, E10) that opened the BFI London Film Festival and drew critical attention (E3, E9). Other 2024 WWII films were reviewed (E4–E8, E11), but no item compares their release scale, reviews or awards with those of Blitz, so the evidence does not settle which grade of the criteria applies.
