Kursk - Reviews

The most notable, and successful, of these is Vinterberg’s decision to play with the screen ratio...he employs intimate camerawork in the scenes between the men both above and below sea level...some eerily effective views of the water...

...an intermittently entertaining old-school disaster movie, helped by strong craft, hindered by on-the-nose writing and an overwhelming sense of the familiar.

Military films tend to cover moments of courage under fire that conclude with rousing victory, which makes this tragic depiction feel all the more gripping, vital, and necessary.

Som rendyrket, nervepirrende historisk thriller fungerer 'Kursk' udmærket.

Kursk er en 100% professionelt fortalt klaustrofobisk rædsel, der også prøver at opleve utryghed og frygt set med de pårørendes øjne.

Kursk’ er (...) bedst, når man placeres i øjenhøjde med den tænderklaprende, desperate besætning, og oplevelsen bliver decideret fysisk.

...här gör dramaturgin, skådespelet och Vinterbergs regi att de emotionella bitarna höjs.

...ett starkt stycke film, gripande och vacker.
