Very well acted movie with a look into history not often or at all brought to film. I do especially appreciate the casting of German/Austrian actors for the German's in the movie, made it all the more authentic. I also wouldn't mind a "sequel" telling what happened in the months and years to come since it isn't any less interesting or important.

81% :thumbsup_tone1: Positives: This movie was a gut wrencher! The acting was amazing and you really felt what the characters are going through while on there journey. I loved some of the unique camera angles that were used. This was also a sad movie. You could tell the actors put there hearts out for the performance. The movie was slow paced but I felt the slow paced actually made the film more dramatic Negatives: No real big negatives except for maybe some of the unique camera angles were a little to crazy. In one of the fight scenes the camera is following the main boy as if you were a soldier behind him. I felt that the camera angle kind of took away from the realism of the action scene. Overall: The film was very well done and with such a low budget I don’t know what else they could have done. Yes the camera angles sometimes was a distraction but you forget about it when the next scene is taking place

I say this as a Norwegian: Norway just doesn't know how to make a good film.

**All for Norway.**

It is from the director of 'A Thousand Times Good Night'. This movie is like the Norwegian version of the Academy Awards winner 'The King's Speech'. Likewise, it was based on the real, that happened around the same timeline of the history, id est, the World War II. Except matc More
