The Nazi agenda knew no borders. As the war spread into Europe, Hitler's control became ever more clear. In November of 1942 hundreds of Jewish citizens in Norway were taken from their homes. Men, women and children forced on to a ship... a ship headed for Oslo, with the final destination set to be where the industrialization of human suffering became a horrifying reality -- Auschwitz. Follow one family's struggle as the life they knew and loved is ripped from them by the tides of war.

The film showed promise at first--good cinematography and good acting. But then it went down, down, down... Every once in a while, the director makes us feel that maybe there is a glimmer of hope—an escape, a rescue, or something. But no. Absolutely depressing, and without a point, at every level. Yes, we know Nazi's did evil things, and we wish they had not done it. But is it supposed to be pleasurable to watch a 126 minute story about it that could have been told in a 20-minute documentary? If you want to watch a movie where evil wins out for virtually all the characters, and nothing is resolved, then be sure to catch this film.

I just saw this movie last night and I'm still thinking about it. We always see war movies from Germany but never Norway. This movie was a rollercoaster of emotions. How can humans been so cruel and hateful. The minute the men were separated and the father told his son he had to stay, the father knew. The acting was incredible,

Simply an oustanding drama, beautfully acted and filmed, that brings home the horror of the Nazi atrocities against the Jews and lays bare the complicity of the Norweigen authorities in the killing of hundreds of Norweigen Jews. I doubt I've ever seen a movie that builds to such a tense, terrible climax. Unforgettable.

I loved it and it has haunted me ever since I watched it. I'm so incredibly sad about what happened to the Braudes who are featured and so many millions of others. If there is a purpose to be served by history - we must not stand idle while such monsters take everything.

The movie has its share of disturbing visuals, but it's the profound emotional toll taken on the Braudes and their fellow Jews that packs the biggest punch.

Another outstanding reckoning with how Scandinavian countries dealt with Nazis in WW2. Several scenes are vivid demonstrations of the full scale collaboration of the title.

What makes the movie work is the actors' strong performances, which make vivid the sense of family and how it sustained the characters through the bleakest moments.

We have come to expect Germany and Eastern Europe to be anti-Semitic. But Norway? "Betrayed" exposes the truth about a country that was anything but progressive.
