Superb drama of resistance fighters in Denmark going against the occupying Nazis in WW II.
What a thriller! Complex; well acted; more realistic war movie. Loved the stylized version with the news reals; the shadows; the look on a little... oy's face; the fear on all. Trying for the truth isn't always easy. Really showed the complexiteis of war. Full Review

Though the material might lend itself to heavy-handedness, director Ole Christian Madsen is steady, and he gets fine performances from the two leads and Stengade.Full Review
This searing, stylish account of World War II heroism from Denmark's Ole Christian Madsen avoids period realism, conveying the story of two heroes of the Danish resistance as a noir thriller, complete with shadowy alleys, double-crosses galore and the requisite femme fatale.Full Review

A deeply involving look at people living permanently on the knife-edge of danger, Flame & Citron does more than radically rethink the World War II resistance drama. Its biggest accomplishment may be to make these historical conflicts and dilemmas seem surprisingly contemporary.Full Review
An absorbing, shades-of-gray look at home-front intrigue in Nazi-occupied Denmark during World War II. Ole Christian Madsen's accomplished fourth feature plays out on a much larger canvas than he's used previously and offers nuance and ambiguity in equal measure with violence and tragedy.Full Review
