Finally one movie is made that brings forth to the world the life and work of Diplomats, Foreign Service Officers and showcases how important foreign policy is.

If you watch it without any biases and treat it in a value-neutrally, without taking sides, there are a lot of lessons for humanity in this movie, and it's full of entertainment as well, if you enjoy the story.
It will show and teach you, how important it is for humanity to understand the differences between different communities and factions of our world, to acknowledge it, to find a common ground and to work towards a solution - together and how challenging it can be to do so, to get the opposite sides to talk of the common issue of interest with stark differences and disagreements to the table, and to find a solution despite of that. How it can change the course of history.
I am tempted to give it 10/10, to balance the politically biased ratings, but I'm giving 9, in hope to see more and better movies like this in future.

Do not listen to the exploson/car chase addicts
This is an incredibly interesting glimpse at one the most significant events in the history of the Israelí/Palestinian conflict. Yes! There is no action packed scenes, but rather intelligent dialogue that is interesting and thought provoking. There is also a sprinkle of humor that ties the whole story together. I highly recommend this movie to individuals who are interested in the behind the scenes look at the events that shape history.
Amazing
Thought it would be a boring movie but turns out to be surprisingly good, about the events that took place for signing the oslo accords. Though hours of meeting and talks would seems boring to some but its strangely intriguing and kind of uplifting when both sides came into agreement with each other. Acting is solid and non pretentious, and the couple's effort to establish the accord deserves a nobel peace prize imo. This is a good movie you should see, ignore the negative ratings as they are all silly and irrational, it certainly deserves a much better rating.
It helps to have some idea of what the conflict really is about.
I suspect that people giving this film a bad review either don't have any knowledge of what the conflict is about, or don't like the portayal of «their» people. It's politics!
I'm from Oslo and I remember this agreement very well. Great acting and a believable portrayal of the process. No Hollywood drama.
I miss the part on how the Americans was informed of the agreement and their reaction. I guess it was ok for the Americans as long as Peres, Rabin and Arafat was giving speeches and shook hands in front of Bill Clinton at The White House - as if the Americans had anything to do with it.
At the end of the movie, it could also inform the viewers that Peres, Rabin and Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. Holst, the Minister of foreign affairs in Norway was also ment to be a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, but he died in January of 1994 due to a stroke. His wife said that all the stress of this process caused the stroke.

Humanity is dead...
The film, which consists of a painful story, is successfully reflected to the audience with the outstanding performances of the actors. A very impressive movie that makes you question your humanity. You should definitely watch.
Did you know
- TriviaNo scenes were actually shot in Oslo, despite the title of the movie.
- GoofsBorregaard Manor, where the majority of the action takes place, is a stately manor by Norwegian standards. However, it is nowhere near as grandiose as the building depicted in the movie.
