Johannes S @RT64416087 Jul 19, 2023 Amazing movie about Norway's fate in WW2. The fighting scenes are beautifully shot and the dialogue throughout the movie feels authentic and real. See more Joel B @RT01510736 Jun 7, 2023 This is a great retelling of what Norway dealt with in the Second World War! Watching it in Norwegian makes it better! See more Joel M @RT50118517 May 5, 2022 Slow burn drama depicting the role of King Haakon VII during the early stages of the German invasion of Norway in World War II. Impressively acted and revealing story of events usually described from the German point of view. Gripping and poignant. See more Apr 16, 2022 Great foreign movie on the German takeover of Norway. Germany wanted their ore and the NORSK facilities heavy water enrichment for nuclear production. (another movie on US & UK & Norwegians blowing up that plant - thank heavens). Reading the subtitles really makes you intimate with the production. See more Sep 13, 2021 A solid telling of a little known part of WW2 See more Sep 8, 2020 This film is real cinema. If you enjoyed the English film The King's Speech for the struggles of conscience it recreated, this Norwegian film exceeds that by a factor of ten. The English subtitles are very awkwardly done but if you can get by that you can follow it very well. The physicality of the actors is very moving at times. This isn't a movie with a lot of war action so don't let that trailer with the artillery sinking a ship mislead you. There is just enough in three or four key places to make sure viewers know how dire the situation was at the time. I'm glad I didn't ignore this one. See more Read all reviews
