Eilis O'Hanlon on TV: Nora is a woman for whom the words 'she's a bit of a miserable cow, isn't she?' could practically have been invented

Fatal Crossing follows Nora Sand, a disgraced journalist, as she investigates the mysterious disappearances of teenage girls from her hometown in Zealand. Set against the backdrop of 1980s ferry tragedies, the drama attempts to build suspense around the re-emergence of old secrets and a new tragic case. However, the film falls into predictable patterns found in many Scandinavian thrillers, failing to stand out with unique storytelling or character depth, ultimately leaving viewers feeling that they have seen it all before.

"Fatal Crossing offers a familiar narrative of a journalist uncovering dark secrets in her hometown, but it lacks the unique tension typical of standout thrillers."

"The repetitive formula of Scandinavian thrillers may leave audiences yearning for originality, as Fatal Crossing fails to deliver a fresh take on the genre."
