22 July
In 22 July, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips, United 93) tells the true story of the aftermath 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.

While it's a film too steeped in actual tragedy to describe as 'entertainment', it's engrossing, thought-provoking, and well worth your time.

22 July at its core, is about responsibility... [questioning] what responsibilities the survivors have to the diseased

If Anders Behring Breivik represents today's West at its self-devouring worst, the movie wants us to see that Viljar's endurance offers a reason for hope.

22 July is so good it hurts.

The opening nightmare of 22 July drives that point home, even if the rest of the movie struggles to sustain it.

Greengrass previously excelled at depicting events that overwhelmed individuals; in "22 July," he demonstrates how one deluded zealot can shake an entire country.

Greengrass' other films in this tradition are interested in how human beings react in the face of unimaginable horror. 22 July is only interested in itself and all of its verite draping can't obscure its underlying, speechifying hokum.

22 July is exceptionally choreographed and tough to sit through, but it also leaves an uneasy, bitter aftertaste...

Greengrass gives "22 July" everything he's got. The filmmaking is vigorous, with a constantly moving and sometimes jittery camera, and the social purpose is worthy and unmistakably sincere.

With tenderness and toughness, Greengrass has made a great film about a terrible act.

Greengrass has once again composed a gripping, sometimes unbearably stressful re-creation of horror, so true to life that the "why" of it all is just as inscrutable as life itself.

It's likely only a filmmaker of Greengrass' experience and stature could have gotten it made at all, let alone so successfully.
