Review of Utoya: July 22

1/10
Cheap, Amateurish, Overrated
17 December 2020
As another reviewer has said...this movie looks like they spared every expense to make. No music, no actors, no script, some gunshot effects, some tents and a boat. That's it. Maybe some mud.

There is nothing in this movie apart from kids running and hiding from the sounds of gunshots.

Yes it does give you a feeling of what it may have been like for them but does it give us Knowledge? Entertainment? Insight? No.

I watched this after watching the totally "brilliant in comparison" movie by Paul Greengrass which has a well spent budget, terrific acting and a wealth of information.

Anyone who says this movie is better than that one is a either à studio astroturfer or a fool. Either way, it's a lie. Now I guess it's time to find some documentaries on the subject.
