Story

Company commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk) and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile back in Denmark Claus' wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children missing their father. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy crossfire and in order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that has grave consequences for him - and his family back home.

It’s a line often spoken in war-at-home dramas, as returning soldiers struggle to relate to unscarred civilians: “You can’t imagine what it’s like out there.” These words surface once more in “A War,” though the audience may not feel the need for them in Tobias Lindholm’s rigorous, engrossing anatomy of a suspected war crime: In its nerve-shattering first half, it conveys the on-the-ground maelstrom of combat as vividly as any film on the subject. Retaining the matter-of-fact structural simplicity and procedural meticulousness of Lindholm’s superb ship-capture thriller “A Hijacking,” “A War” doesn’t seek to break new ground in the ongoing cinematic investigation of the Afghanistan conflict; rather, it scrutinizes the ground on which it stands with consummate sensitivity and detail. Arthouse sales should be brisk, particularly with leading man Pilou Asbaek’s profile set to soar on the “Game of Thrones” battlefield. (Guy Lodge, Variety)

RT Critics Consensus

Tense, intelligent, and refreshingly low-key, A War is part frontline thriller, part courtroom drama -- and eminently effective in both regards.
