Alissa Simon Variety 09/09/2024
With its terrifyingly topical look into the complicated mind of an autocratic leader, tour de force performances by the two leads, striking cinematography and notable period production design, this is a gripping cinematic experience. Go to Full Review

8.5/10
While Peder Olsen’s actions may provoke discomfort—given Quisling’s undeniable crimes—the story invites us to reflect on whether even the most despicable among us are capable of redemption. Go to Full Review

5/10
The film could have been a powerful examination of how faith can waiver and how authoritarianism blinds those desperate for a morsel of influence. Instead, audiences have merely a solid biopic that never excels at the one thing it strives to achieve. Go to Full Review

B
A standard drama that offers an unexpectedly layered and insightful look into a figure who history most definitely does not remember well. Go to Full Review

Alec B Aug 6 The problem with examining Vidkun Quisling at the end of his life is that your inherently at a dramatic disadvantage because his refusal to admit to any wrongdoing means that you're stuck with a central character who cannot change despite a huge amount of evidence. I think the movie mostly avoids this problem by finding other characters who come to see the crimes of his regime.

Quisling is mostly based on diaries kept by Peder Olsen, the prison chaplain specially assigned to Vidkun Quisling after he was arrested and eventually executed for his role as the leader of a coup that installed a pro-Hitler government in Norway. An unbelievable performance by Norwegian actor Gard Bjørnstjerne Eidsvold, his first in a leading role, with a personal twist: His father had been arrested and badly tortured under Quisling. He was liberated days after the death of Hitler and the fall of the Quisling government. See more Read all reviews
