Den største forbrytelsen

This movie is one which is well worth watching, if only for the historical value. The dramatization of the deportation of norwegian jews during WW2 is done in a respectfull, and good manner, and the historical context is well in behold during the entire film. The actors vary in impressiveness, where the main role, carried out by Jakob Ofterbro, is by far the best of the lot. Although the movie is an emotionally strong and important, it is carried by the assumption that most people know the historical background, which might be true, but it results in the fact that the plots main focus is on the individuals expreience. This would not have been an issue if the dialogues and scenes had not been generelly quite poor. The story lacks peaks, but rather builds slowly up to the inevitable tragedy.

In conclusion this movie one where the respect of the victims come first, and is a good watch, but no blockbuster.

Norway has become good at making movies with little budget. Little budget for Hollywood but big budget for a Norwegian movie. And this one is amazing. And its a true story. A sad story! Definitely worth seeing!

The persecution of jews in Norway is a dark chapter in our Nation's history.

It was German soliders who killed some 35% of the Norwegian jews in World War 2, but it was Norwegians who helped them by rounding them up, disclosing their location, imprisoning them in Norway and sending them off with DS Donau enroute to Germany and then to the Arbeitslager death camps.

In the movie we follow the Norwegian-jewish family Braude, living in Oslo. The person gallery is built up in a solid manner in this movie, portraying an entire jewish family and also neighbouring jewish families and the persecution they experienced after Germany invaded Norway on 9th of April, 1940.

The movie's strongest features are the human factor and the movie contains strong scenes and believable acting.

I expected a solid film but this fine work delivered much more than that.

A tragic story told superbly with performances to match.

Some reviews have used the word "restraint" and that is indeed a quality of this film.

Bur don't confuse restraint with lack of impact.

It's got that in spades.

A movie worth watching! It is stuffed with really good acting, interesting charcters, well written script and loads of heartbreaking scenes.

Most of all it is an important movie that unveils the brutal acts of alot of Norwegians during the holocaust. Never forget.
