22 July is so good it hurts.

Greengrass has once again composed a gripping, sometimes unbearably stressful re-creation of horror, so true to life that the "why" of it all is just as inscrutable as life itself.

Greengrass previously excelled at depicting events that overwhelmed individuals; in "22 July," he demonstrates how one deluded zealot can shake an entire country.

22 July is exceptionally choreographed and tough to sit through, but it also leaves an uneasy, bitter aftertaste...

Greengrass gives "22 July" everything he's got. The filmmaking is vigorous, with a constantly moving and sometimes jittery camera, and the social purpose is worthy and unmistakably sincere.

The opening nightmare of 22 July drives that point home, even if the rest of the movie struggles to sustain it.

If Anders Behring Breivik represents today's West at its self-devouring worst, the movie wants us to see that Viljar's endurance offers a reason for hope.

While it's a film too steeped in actual tragedy to describe as 'entertainment', it's engrossing, thought-provoking, and well worth your time.

Greengrass' other films in this tradition are interested in how human beings react in the face of unimaginable horror. 22 July is only interested in itself and all of its verite draping can't obscure its underlying, speechifying hokum.

22 July at its core, is about responsibility... [questioning] what responsibilities the survivors have to the diseased
October 09, 2018
It's likely only a filmmaker of Greengrass' experience and stature could have gotten it made at all, let alone so successfully.

With tenderness and toughness, Greengrass has made a great film about a terrible act.
