Proximity to American conventionalism

Of the two new films about the Utøya massacre, it is Reconstructing Utøya which, through four survivors' honest accounts, in all its simplicity allows us to see both the extent of the tragedy and a way forward for those involved.

Soothing staging

Reconstructing Utøya is close, brave and warm – if you can only watch one movie about Utøya, it is strongly recommended to wait for this one.

They are careless

Poppe's feature film paves the way for care and a new focus on the survivors of the Utøya tragedy.
