Down to earth war film
17 September 2019
The first third of the movie is the best in my opinion. After that, there are some scenes that could be perceived as filler (probably contributing are fairly anonymous characters). If you're on Netflix you can simply watch the first third and quit if bored, so nothing lost there.

I still like the movie on the whole as a reminder that Denmark had its soldiers doing their best, and they did suffer casualties, despite the government (logically) surrendering in quick order. This movie does help to raise the question, could the surrender have been orchestrated more effectively as to save lives? If you're going to fight on war, you better give your soldiers the means to stand a chance.
