Louder Than Bombs (15)

Drama

The fractious family of a father and his two sons confront their different feelings and memories of their deceased wife and mother, a famed war photographer.

The critical consensus

There’s something about Louder Than Bombs that falls flat, and it’s that there’s just so much noise, so much going on within it, that it’s hard to find the voices that we should really be listening to.

Full of poignant moments and neat stylistic touches, this nuanced, fragmented saga never quite engrosses as it might.

The quality of the performances smooth over the rough edges of an honourable attempt to capture the casualties of a family at war.

Isabelle Huppert is mesmerising as a war photographer whose death leaves her family struggling to cope in Joachim Trier’s wistful drama.
