Kursk
It is a tragic historical event related to the tragedy of the K-141 Kursk submarine and the government neglect that caused the disaster. It may be dangerous and terrifying as sailors struggle to survive the worst journey of their lives. On the other hand, the families of the victims were resisting the tragic reality but discovering that opportunities seemed impossible to save them from death.

It is a perfect reconstruction of a historical episode that is almost as current. [Full Review in Spanish]September 20, 2018
Does put a more realist slant on proceedings. But the clunky dialogue, clichéd relationships and characterisation of every character undermine all these efforts.September 13, 2018
"Kursk" occasionally lands an emotive blow but only in its more fictionalized stretches, while it pulls its punches with the thorniest and most provocative elements of the real story...October 08, 2018
Vinterberg returns to the aspect ratio of 4: 3 to tell us that his speech is over, that we have returned to the oppressive state to answer the questions. Smart move, bright but disturbing. [Full Review in Spanish]
