The Forgotten Battle Reviews

beautifully shot film.

the dutch know how to shoot a film wow.

what really blows my mind besides how incredibly well this film was made is how it was all funded by many european & dutch institutions. not hollywood. and the craziest thing is that it was fucking great.

not like nolan’s masterful “dunkirk”of course… but still a very solid film.

the cinematography, camerawork, sound design, production design, the cast, the costume design, literally every position was on point.

absolutely loved how brutal and cinematic the first attack on the bridge went down. easily my favorite sequence from the entire film besides the climax.

susan radder is absolutely gorgeous my god. marinus & william’s performance was incredible too. great actors, definitely want to see them on bigger productions.

i remember watching this a while back during covid when it hit netflix for the first time, but had to circle back and give it my official review.

highly recommend watching it in dutch with subtitles of course.

not bad

Ich hätte lieber im Wald gelebt und mich vor den Behörden versteckt, als in den Krieg zu ziehen.

8.1 solid war movie with great perspective and storyline

7.2/10

Un film proche de la catégorie supérieure tellement la réalisation, l’histoire, le casting et les effets visuels sont forts. Si vous recherchez un film de guerre peu connu et qui envoi, Netflix peut vous sustenter pendant 2h avec celui-là 🚣

I really enjoyed this movie!

Yet another WWII story told with a more modern outlook on both sides fighting it. Giving the viewer a wide spectrum on the different people involved, from the oppressors to the oppressed to also the liberators. In which the good and the evil is shown in everyone

Couldn't remember why I queued it and I probs won't remember watching it, but it was alright enough in itself

7/10

A brilliant, well written, well acted War film. An engaging and emotional experience with each multiple perspective being as enjoyable and meaningful as the other. Highly recommended.

H- 8/10

An intense and emotional war film, following three intertwined perspectives with moving performances from all the characters

Honestly boring, expected more. Maybe it’s me but I could just not focus.

Amazing!!

A little slow but very well made

A different kind of war movie but still good.
