REviews

“It’s a chilling story, coolly executed, about morality, expediency and realpolitik and well worth seeing.” The Guardian

“Ole Christian Madsen keeps the question of loyalty to the fore while never neglecting the basic demands of pace and tension.” The Independent

“[…] an involving, well-constructed piece. It’s particularly good on the anguish felt by its characters at their inability to preserve their integrity in the moral quagmire that surrounds them.” The Times
