Den største forbrytelsen

Short review: Betrayed/Den største forbrytelsen tells the story about the deportation of Jews living in Norway during the Second World War. While it is not without flaws, the acting and production value is excellent for a local film, and it manages to capture the full emotion of this heartbreaking story. Once again, as a foreigner living in Norway, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the film industry in this tiny country. Highly recommend for anyone interest in Norwegian or World War II history.

Norway has become good at making movies with little budget. Little budget for Hollywood but big budget for a Norwegian movie. And this one is amazing. And its a true story. A sad story! Definitely worth seeing!

I expected a solid film but this fine work delivered much more than that.

A tragic story told superbly with performances to match.

Some reviews have used the word "restraint" and that is indeed a quality of this film.

Bur don't confuse restraint with lack of impact.

It's got that in spades.

Im not in to history to much and Im not the one who has to see the next war movie. Still this movie moved me. I have seen WW2 movies before but non have made me hate the Nazi side of things as much as this one. It feels authentic all the way through. Also there is not much that I feel is made up to make the story interesting. Its not the big hero movie that often, for me, makes the movie less authentic. It feels like it just wants to tell a story of hardship in a time that was horrible and it tells it in a brutally honest way. I remember sitting in the movie theater thinking that this is not for children, but maybe its good for them to get som perceptive on the hardship people had to go through. I almost cried because of its brutality in the storytelling.

Also the movie doesnt have all the ups and downs. Its very flat and you kind of know what will happen. Still it take you inn, much because of the feeling I talked about it being very authentic and true to the real story. Just have to say that I loved it for that. Amazing movie

Good story from wartime in Norway, that brings out a good story. Great acting and directed. It gives a good picture of what Norway looked like as well. Well told filmatic, definitely worth the watch.
