Kursk
History seems to be re-emerging through the dramatic story of the 2000 K-141 Kursk, which was a real tragedy because of the government's neglect that followed. Events begin as the sailors did their best to escape death. On the other hand, their families are there to resist the dilemma of political obstacles and impossible opportunities to help them escape from death.

Moments of suspense are abound here, but not abundant.

Thomas Vinterberg adapts one of the more controversial accounts of the tragedy, but strikes an even keel between humanising the doomed seamen and demonising the high command who left them to die.
September 07, 2018
It's a heartbreaking, troubling film about men whose lives were cruelly deprioritised and whose families remain ever altered as a result.
