Description

'The King’s Choice' is based on the true story of the three dramatic days in April 1940, where the King of Norway is presented with an unimaginable ultimatum from the invading German armed forces: surrender or die. With Nazi soldiers hunting them, the Royal Family is forced to flee from the capital. They decide to go their separate ways, without knowing if they’ll ever see each other again. After three days of desperately trying to evade the Germans, King Haakon makes his final decision - one that may cost the lives of him, his family and all of Norway.

    I came across this by accident, and I loved it. I shared it with my wife, and she did too. It is a hugelly humane story of the enormous choices to be made, not just by the king, but by so many. It is a wonderful film, on many levels. Beautifully shot and directed and astonishingly well acted. It feels like a wonderful novel.
  • A very human story
