Review

Tasteful and remarkably well-choreographed rendition of how the 2011 Utøya massacre played out for a handful of fictitious characters, based on real witness accounts. Every single scene has a sense of urgency and desperation to it, which to some extent enables us to live through the terror that these kids experienced. Poppe's filmmaking here is expert-class. He recreates the terror and chaos that reigned over this island for 72 minutes utilizing effective camera techniques, masterful pacing, and getting intense performances out of his more or less inexperienced cast. Utøya 22. juli is a film which is bound to leave its mark on whoever sees it.
