Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

pesic-1 This film has no plot. It has a quasi-documentary character, and while it succeeds at its objective - depicting the depravity a lot of youths in Serbia have been reduced to, it fails as a film. A film needs to tell a story. It needs to go beyond stating that things are bad. It needs to take our characters on a journey, and they need to get somewhere. Finally, the audience needs to leave with a sense of fulfillment, even if the film is heavy and generates unpleasant emotions. Watching 'Clip', one constantly hopes the film will start telling a story. But it never does. The ending comes as a huge disappointment, at least for those who maintained hope until that very point that the film would provide payoff for their emotional investment. Of course, the filmmakers can hide behind the claim that it was all very deliberate, that the absence of story is there to create some kind of 'realism', or to accentuate the emptiness and meaninglessness of the universe it depicts. But that's completely misguided. A well made film always has a good story at its heart.

Arconada Don't spend time on this movie, it is depressingly depressing and leads to nothing. It is about adolescents without future in a derelict suburb in Serbia. These young people apparently were not guided in there change-over from child-play to sex-driven behavior, they are now at. They show no restraint at all. The film ends how it started, it is an empty container. There is another reason why this movie is to be avoided. If a character is sad, the actor needs not to be, he acts as if he is said. If character is happy, the actor acts as if he is happy, he needs not to be. If a character has sex, the actor acts as if he has sex. You feel where this went wrong. The actors, minors, indulge way to much in sex, explicit sex. And although the credits say prosthetics where used, it is obvious this movie crossed the line between a play and pornography. And that is more than sad, considering that the leading part is played by a girl of only 14 years old. You could just as well say this movie borders on child abuse.

efffigie ...if you haven't spent some time in the outskirts of Beograd this movie might not make a lot of sense. I can't say I liked it; I didn't, really, I don't agree with movies that try to 'show reality', I don't think that's what movies are designed to do, but that aside, I think this movie gets a lot correct in its depiction of what passes for youth life in modern Serbia.Since this movie makes claims on 'reality', I'll weigh in on that.This is a place where middle-aged people with advanced degrees work at outsourced call centers for USD$400 a month; one girl I talked to, who spoke perfect English and had a BA, revealed her income, working at a cafe where I had coffee each morning, was USD$210 a month; and these are considered decent-enough jobs that one is lucky to have. There are tons of working-class type kids with, literally, nothing to do and nowhere to go. So this movie shouldn't be too surprising. I told the cafe girl what I did (blue-collar material handler) and, since she asked, how much my income was, and it put her into a frantic, depressed, desperate funk for the entire time I was there. I felt really bad. Shouldn't have done that. But she asked.A couple of things, about the movie itself: Serbia is a strongly patriarchal culture, and I've seen women, daughters, go really, truly crazy at the loss of their fathers. Just lose their s*** completely. In KLIP we see the illness of the protagonists father, and if you know the cultural background, this girl going bats isn't a shock. She flails around looking for some strong, authoritarian figure as a (very bad) replacement. The ending made total sense to me. In the USA this would be called 'Daddy Issues' and be regarded as a kind of disorder, but in Serbia it's just something that can, and does, happen in the usual scheme of things: 'Lost her dad, went crazy' (shrug).In a somewhat vulgar comment, and in kind of answer to reviews who describe the lead as 'beautiful', well, by Beograd standards she's actually kind of only maybe slightly above average for what is conventionally regarded as beauty. The place is like some bizarre science fiction experiment in genetically engineered women. It's nuts. Armies of 6-foot-tall supermodels strutting around. I usually go out to Zemun so I can see fat people and un-made-up women in sweatpants just to feel normal. So, KLIP might be a bit exaggerated, but likely not by much. Can't say I liked it, but it's worth watching once.

Anastasia Beaverhausen I'm surprised that this simple message director was trying to send didn't manage to reach people. The movie shows lives in suburbs of Belgrade, people trying to survive poverty and illness and teenagers dealing with current situation without any adult they can rely on. Haven't been able to express their emotions in the right way, they're trying to do so trough sex, violence and turbo folk music. Lack of character and plot development, also carries certain message. Shallow character in the movie is also shallow person in the real life. My personal opinion is that director's primer goal wasn't to shock audience and that explicit sex scenes couldn't be left out. The viewer's impression just wouldn't be the same. To understand this movie properly, you have to understand current situation Serbia is in. Clip is about decadence of young generations and their struggle to be accepted, to be loved and to be understood in this diseased society.
