This Life

True story about how a group of Danish people organized an important resistance group just after April 1940, the moment Denmark came under control of Nazi Germany.

This movie shows in an excellent way what were the considerations and risks that people took when they were asked to join the resistance. Apart from that, it shows what may be involved in doing work for the resistance.

With the very decent acting and convincing movie sets, you really get the idea that you are watching Denmark during WW2.

I have to honestly admit that during the first 10 minutes, the storyline was too much "off topic", but after the moment the topic changes to the war effort, the movie constantly delivered in keeping your attention and even got better and better whilst the story developed.

I score this movie 7.2/10, making it a very well deserved 7-star IMDb rating.

After seeing the film, and now think back to what made the biggest impression, I can say that it is the stunning performance of the characters in the film. An incredibly authentic presentation, both in duologue and body language, and with a great empathy for each role. It is nice to see, that Denmark is still able to bring good acting to the world. The plot shows how naive and trusting in the cause and right the right thing to do, that would be necessary to start an upraising in the first place. The film stands out, by not containing the violence and brutality, that is most common among films describing this particular period. - Thank you for this experience.

The distance between love and hate, justice and evil, courage and fear. The most impressive plot is on the court. Eight courageous human, eight warrior. Not enough nail-biting scenes and plots, paying more attention on human nature and common people.

The whole story-line is based on the second World War, the condition of Denmark. And this film is on of the most boomed Danish Film after 2000. Natural acting expression and fantastic scenes, vivid explaining a true story happened in 1942 Denmark.

Even they know attempts would failed, they still tried. That is why called brave heart.

This Danish film telling the story about the Hvidsten group which was one of the groups which made a proud effort against the German occupiers when Denmark was under German rule.

The every day life during the war is very well depicted in this film, which has a great realistic feel, all over. This in the best Danish tradition of drama film making. Top notch play by leading native actors make this a very see-worthy film. Still, I think this film will have difficulty in finding an appreciative non-Danish audience. Though it should. If you like a realistically told story, this is it. They were absolute amateurs, working for the case they believed in, while hunted by the Germans.

I like the way the film depicts the every day life combined with the element of resistance and war. The film is at times nerve wrecking. I find it interesting how the resistance did their work. A solid film, which starts slow, but takes control over your emotions before you know it! Just like Danish film making almost always do.

This is in my opinion one of the best Danish movies, even with our somewhat low budget for movies/series (compared to bigger countries) I actually think it's a well made movie. It's definitely worth a watch if you have a interest in World War II or foreign war movies.
