Oslo

Thought it would be a boring movie but turns out to be surprisingly good, about the events that took place for signing the oslo accords. Though hours of meeting and talks would seems boring to some but its strangely intriguing and kind of uplifting when both sides came into agreement with each other. Acting is solid and non pretentious, and the couple's effort to establish the accord deserves a nobel peace prize imo. This is a good movie you should see, ignore the negative ratings as they are all silly and irrational, it certainly deserves a much better rating.

As someone with a Masters in International Relations, I just loved this film. It really humanized the difficult process of international diplomacy. Although it doesn't get into the nuts and bolts of diplomatic deal making, I think it's quite instructive of the power of getting opposing sides to the table for talks. Of course, we now know the Oslo Accords ultimately failed, but the process for which they came about remains truly inspirational.

Also, Ruth Wilson was wonderful and delivered a quietly powerful performance.

Tempted to give this film 10/10 to balance out the politically motivated ratings. But it's really an 8 for me.

P.s. Teachers in university IR courses or high school social studies classes, this would be a great film to watch and discuss during units on international diplomacy.

This is an incredibly interesting glimpse at one the most significant events in the history of the Israelí/Palestinian conflict. Yes! There is no action packed scenes, but rather intelligent dialogue that is interesting and thought provoking. There is also a sprinkle of humor that ties the whole story together. I highly recommend this movie to individuals who are interested in the behind the scenes look at the events that shape history.

I suspect that people giving this film a bad review either don't have any knowledge of what the conflict is about, or don't like the portayal of «their» people. It's politics!

I'm from Oslo and I remember this agreement very well. Great acting and a believable portrayal of the process. No Hollywood drama.

I miss the part on how the Americans was informed of the agreement and their reaction. I guess it was ok for the Americans as long as Peres, Rabin and Arafat was giving speeches and shook hands in front of Bill Clinton at The White House - as if the Americans had anything to do with it.

At the end of the movie, it could also inform the viewers that Peres, Rabin and Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. Holst, the Minister of foreign affairs in Norway was also ment to be a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, but he died in January of 1994 due to a stroke. His wife said that all the stress of this process caused the stroke.

The film, which consists of a painful story, is successfully reflected to the audience with the outstanding performances of the actors. A very impressive movie that makes you question your humanity. You should definitely watch.
