While some might say this movie is a catastrophe, poorly made, too long, I applaud everyone involved in this project.
This movie allows us to enter such an unbelievable scenario of horror. The film is so perfectly captured in a single take, which makes the whole experience so lifelike. Not to mention the main cast, young, unknown actors who play their roles so well, taking us through all the emotions you'd expect teens to experience during an event like this.
I'm very impressed with some of the details in this movie, especially the exact 72 minutes this event took place in real life, as well as in the movie. It makes us realise just how long it took before helped arrived that day.
Some argue there was way too little focus on Breivik in this movie, however I am so pleased to see they didnt bring any attention to him. That's what he would have wanted, and he doesn't deserve any more recognition for his horrible actions. This movie was made with respect to the victims of Utøya, and it is made to portray their point of view and how they felt without the interference of a mass murderer. It is beautifully done.
All in all, an amazing, heavy movie, that leaves a huge impact. Get ready for an hour and a half of suspense.
