Synopsis

"22 July" tells the true story of Norway’s deadliest terrorist attack. On 22 July 2011, 77 people were killed when a far-right extremist detonated a car bomb in Oslo before carrying out a mass shooting at a leadership camp for teens. "22 July" uses the lens of one survivor’s physical and emotional journey to portray the country's path to healing and reconciliation.

Critics' reviews

"It’s intelligently stern, storm-gray filmmaking (...) If it feels a bit mechanical as well, perhaps this is a near-impossible story to film with both tact and soul."

Guy Lodge: Variety
"It serves as a stirring memorial (...) Raw and harrowing but at the same time admirably uninflected and measured at every step"

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"Director’s latest docudrama re-enacts the 2011 massacre in Norway with chilling accuracy — but it stumbles when revisiting the details of the aftermath (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"'22 July' proves an immersive look at a kind of violence that threatens to become common (...) Though full of anger and grief, the film is more than just a screed"

Michael Nordine: IndieWire
"There are enough grace notes sprinkled through the telling to make this a genuinely affecting film (...) Greengrass is in total command"

Steve Pond: The Wrap
"[Greengrass] doesn’t succeed, but his interests lie in those who are alive and their attempts to honor the dead rather than the murderer in question."

Vikram Murthi: rogerebert.com
"Drama and journalism meet in this brave and masterly film (...) Unwatchable and yet impossible to look away from (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Danny Leigh: The Guardian
"Unsparing, unsensationalised, and hard to watch (...) A sharp, scouring work of moral seriousness (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Robbie Collin: Telegraph
