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.

Film Threat

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.

Rated: 8.5/10

Next Best Picture

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.

Rated: 5/10

The Film Experience

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

Rated: B

Screened at TIFF 2024. 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
