‘Fantastic and coronary heart breaking’ warfare movie that scores excellent 100% streaming on Netflix | Films | Entertainment | EUROtoday

A “fantastic, heart breaking and intense” warfare movie that scores an ideal 100% from skilled critics on Rotten Tomatoes is now streaming on Netflix. Critics prasied the World War II movie – The Bombardment – for its harrowing storyline that lingers within the thoughts lengthy after viewing, shedding gentle on untold tales in Denmark.

Set in the course of the closing months of World War II, the highly effective and heartbreaking Danish warfare drama relies on the real-life tragedy of Operation Carthage, a British air raid on Copenhagen on March 21, 1945, that went fatally unsuitable. The Bombardment interweaves a number of storylines, specializing in the lives of Danish schoolchildren, nuns and resistance fighters, all of whom are affected by the bombing supposed to destroy enemy headquarters in Copenhagen.

Due to a navigational error, one of many bombers unintentionally hits a faculty, resulting in catastrophic civilian casualties.

The narrative focuses on three people as their paths cross: Henry, a younger boy traumatised into muteness by a earlier air assault; Frederik, a conflicted soldier who begins questioning his loyalties; and Sister Teresa, who tries to take care of her religion and shield her college students in the course of the horrors of warfare.

One of the 9 skilled critics commented: “Haunting and visceral, Ole Bornedal’s beautifully shot film stays in your mind well after it’s over.”

While the bulk thought its story wanted telling, some questioned the movie’s execution: “While The Bombardment struggles to figure how to lay the foundation for the larger narrative of the film…this terrible tragedy is not for the faint of heart, but the story deserves to be told, and the impact of the lives lost should never be forgotten.”

The 2021 movie scored an equally respectable 90% viewers ranking from round 250 viewers.

One stated: “Absolutely fantastic, heart breaking, intense all wrapped in one, amazing directing and even at the ending, moments stay in you’re mind. Great actors/actresses. Well portrayed 5*.”

Another added: “Poorly titled as many people will not watch it thinking it’s just another war movie, but it’s much, much more.”

Although one criticised the circulate: “Engrossing but hard to follow because of the constant switching back and forth and multiple sub-plots.”

The movie, often known as ‘The Shadow in My Eye’ in direct translation from Danish, is accessible now on Netflix.
