Netflix viewers have raved over 'one of the best war films ever' with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

According to fans, The Bombardment has 'haunting and visceral' scenes that 'blew them away'.

Set at the end of the Second World War, the drama is available to stream on Netflix and delves into the story of the tragic accidental bombing of a school.

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, it stars Bertram Bisgaad as Henry.

The young boy witnesses a car carrying three girls mistakenly get shelled and later on, his school bombed leaving more than 120 dead.

Elsewhere, novice nun Teresa (Fanny Leander Bornedal) collides with Frederik(Alex Hogh Andersen), a Danish Nazi collaborator.

The Bombardment has received raving reviews from fans and even has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Ready Steady Cut wrote how the film was 'haunting and visceral,' while according to the Express someone else penned, 'I thought this film was going to be a slow burn, but I was completely wrong. From storyline to the acting, everything about this movie blew me away.'

'Such a well made movie about a tragedy - on all sides - that is not that well known.'

'Very emotional film, sad, disturbing but well crafted. Poor Henry he went running from the horrors and ended up worse.'

'Great cinematography acting and tragic story.'

'Very moving and touching film! Great Cinematography with solid acting to back it up. Must watch with a guaranteed tear at the end!'

'Extremely moving film about this true event from WW2. Strongly recommended!'

Though not everyone has been impressed with the film and one viewer wrote: 'Nicely acted but there's very little to the story other than the main tragic incident.

'The character development is not particularly compelling and the aftermath rescue scenes got tedious. Not really worth recommending.'

Another Netflix drama,Collateral, has left fans gripped. The four-part TV show, created and written by David Hare, hit our screens in 2018 on BBC Two.

Telly fans will be happy to know that despite it being released seven years ago on the Beeb, they are now able to watch it on streaming service Netflix.

Netflix's official synopsis reads: 'Investigating the murder of a pizza delivery man, a Londondetective uncovers a tangled conspiracy involving drug dealers, smugglers and spies.'

The Bombardment is available to stream on Netflix.
