Proximity to American conventionalism

Carl Javér / Paul Greengrass: Reconstructing Utøya / 22 July

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

Soothing staging

Carl Javér: Reconstructing Utøya. Work in progress.

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

They are careless

Erik Poppe: Utøya 22. juli

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

: The dramatizations of our great national tragedy are in line. Why is it more sensitive for a foreigner to manage the July 22 story than one of our own filmmakers?
