REVIEWS
…the film is so well mastered and captures your interest from start till end…
Danish Film Critic Tue Steen Müller gave Harbour of Hope five out of six possible stars at Filmkommentaren.dk.
Magnus Gertten has managed to make a film full of warmth and human presence, even a beautiful film, if one may say so, given the subject matter.
Robert Dahlström in Ystads Allehanda.
You do not want to miss if a single word when they talk about their memories, reflections on what happened, relations with family and especially the mothers’ silence about the disgusting experience of the camps.
‘Harbour of Hope’ talks about what took place in Malmö 1945. Yet the film is relevant in present time. Not least because it simultaneously provides a perspective on how refugees are received today.
