Media reviews
Cinemanía
'The king's choice' offers to the audience an very entertaining political-military intrigue which also documents what were probably the three most crucial days of Norway's recent history as a sovereign state.
The Hollywood Reporter
The film tries to broaden its scope by introducing the character of a young Norwegian soldier fighting the Nazis, but his character, like too many others, is fairly stock.
Fotogramas
Beyond the strictly revisionism / national exaltation notes of the film, we find in its interior what made the duel of candidates in Schafner's title apprehensive: the Mephistophelean incapacity to never do the right thing in the interested machine of interests of State.
El País
Through various points of view, Poppe enters the story with a narrator's pulse, capturing with remarkable transcendence the two great subtexts of a crucial time: the lightness of power and the impossible opinion of a human being.
