Through a family and the relation between father and son, the film describes the dilemmas of the Danish population during World War II. Like the government, the farmers and the industry, the father, a successful owner of a big electronics factory, tries to make the best of the situation to keep the wheels rolling. However this leads him into a problematic collaboration with the Germans. His son, on the contrary, reacts against the increasing oppression and persecution of Jews and communists by joining the rising resistance movement.

Peter Rainer FilmWeek (LAist) There's a great range of narrative in this movie, but the ending is lopped off to the point where I don't think there will be anyone who isn't confused by it. Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle You'd think this chapter in Danish history would inspire passion in a native filmmaker, but the movie lacks fervency. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2021 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times This is not Luchino Visconti's "The Damned," which turned a similar premise into a nearly unwatchable miasma of grotesquerie. But neither is "Into the Darkness" more than watchable. May 20, 2021 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (LAist) It doesn't end -- it stops... It's as though the two-and-a-half hours you've invested were a complete waste. Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat How do you reconcile major differences, like party affiliations, within a family? Into the Darkness serves as a keen portrait of a deeply divided country, unsure of where its allegiance lies. Rated: 7/10 May 23, 2021 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Too cluttered, disjointed and ultimately inconclusive to register much of an emotional impact. Rated: C May 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
