...pulls you in, and like the worst videos from Russia’s murderous invasion of Ukraine, doesn’t flinch from showing us the heartbreaking slaughter of war and its frantic-search-for-survivors aftermath.

Ole Bornedal is known for his accurate research. This movie about a catastrophic failure/misunderstanding in Copenhagen 1945 at the end of ww2, is a typical Bornedal movie handling fiction and realistic history. A dark moment in Danish war history.

Bornedal also wrote the script, and he weaves eye-opening themes that are almost lyrical.
