I reviewed this film originally in april 2018(see below the update) but significant changes has been made in this filmversion.
Update 8/12 2018, i feel that i have to inform every international viewer of this film who watches this netflix version on the internet , you (and i ) are cheated for at least 40 minutes from the version shown in norwegian theaters in spring 2018. it is basicly in the start and during the attacks that have been ''censored''. these part are very essential key to the understanding of the experiences that the young people were living through at utoya at 22/7 2011. most of my impressions told in my first review(below)have been erased from the cinemaversion i saw. howcome or why i dont know, try to find the original cinemaversion to be able to understand better the horrific madness that took place in innocent little norway that day.they have even erased the amanda-awarded main actress away from the, film who are pictured on the poster of this film.terrible..... my 10 stars are for the norwegian spoken original cinematic version.
I remember 22/7-11,as if it was yesterday.i wasnt there,not even nearby,but what actually happened that day mustve been horrible. ive just come out of the cinema,i feel numb and cold,and extremely fatigued after 90 minutes of hide or be shot. the film starts in wet , gloomy and grey,and ends black,even blacker than that- the acting of the main cast are phenomenal.the way they act the misery and horror are academy-worthy. i have ,through my occupation , seen people drawing their last breath due to old age,or disease. so playing a dying person are difficult, and to do it convincingly , are even harder , so the part of the movie where the lead actress comforts a deadly wounded girl , and the girl slowly dies is just extraordinary . the way the actress plays dead are just sooo realistic . jesus died on the cross, jack died on the titanic, and this young woman died at utøya,i ts just monumental, see it and you will never forget!!!! this is a filmreview,and along with the acting comes extremely intense filmography and cameramotion, the sound effects some of the most horrific and frightening ive ever experienced in a movie theater,the editing sharp,and the settings are actually filmed in the woods,on the beach,in the mud at utøya. a masterpiece from mister Poppe.....10 from me.
