ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
abdullah-5 An excellent Yugoslav movie based on an equally worthy novel by the same name. (See the wikipedia entry for more details.) Vojislav Miric, Faruk Begolli and Abdurahman Shala give the performances of their lives. Beautifully filmed, the movie also serves as a useful, if oblique, insight into the "old" pre-1990 Yugoslavia and their cinema.A must for anyone interested in Yugoslav culture and history.
