Featured reviews
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.
If only people can sit down and talk. They didn't solve all, or even most of the issues, they didn't make years of hatred and violence disappear, but they made more progress that 40 years of official negotiations. Two people took a chance, then two more and just like that 10 people managed, at least for a little while, to stop a war.
It's not a great movie, the writing leaves a lot to be desired, but the acting is solid and it gets the job done. My main complaint is with the cinematography. Some parts look good, some have a terrible yellow filter over them and then a few scenes are straight up dipped into mustard.

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.
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.

Being a political movie fan I kinda like this movie. The film seems like being dragged on but you can imagine what more draggy and difficult the real peace negotiation was. It shed some light into what is happening in politics of the area. Go watch this with an open mind and you will enjoy this.

- 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.
