On March 21st, 1945, the British Royal Air Force set out on a mission to bomb Gestapo's headquarters in Copenhagen. The raid had fatal consequences as some of the bombers accidentally targeted a school and more than 120 people were killed, 86 of whom were children.
With a linear narrative and minimal technical jargon, the film is simple in its approach but effective nonetheless. “The Bombardment” is not a cinematic masterpiece but definitely deserves a watch

While The Bombardment struggles to figure how to lay the foundation for the larger narrative of the film...this terrible tragedy is not for the faint of heart, but the story deserves to be told, and the impact of the lives lost should never be forgotten.

Haunting and visceral, Ole Bornedal’s beautifully shot film stays in your mind well after it’s over.

No one can deny the impact of the tragedy told, especially since it's adapted from a true story. However, The Bombardment relies on certain narrative weaknesses that border on the obvious and platitudinal. [Full review in Spanish]
