Reviews

H@ni ElfTheWizard It starts like a promising movie, that will offer tense atmosphere and the camera close ups of the ugly faces of the neighbors, leads to that.But the suspension is soon gone, some illogical actions (like not calling the police even it is obvious that there is a dead old women in the apartment) than static, puppet like persons strained in this neighborhood not connected what so ever with the world outside its boundaries, stereotypes (two skinheads, worn out soldier) So I was also stacked within those boundaries, not many questions or conflicts, left at will of the director, who doesn't care about the audience. I just watch and watch, indifferently, till it finished.Rosemary's Baby is a good example for me, of keeping suspension and let you and the world involved in the story.That all i have to say about this movie.

cabrilo This movie gets my 7/10. It's not a masterpiece, but it still is a very good movie and I would recommend anyone to see it. The topic of intolerance towards "other" sexualities has been dwelled on for a while, but this is somewhat of an unique perspective, since it comes from Croatia.The story about two lesbians who fall victims of intolerance blends rather nicely with other generalized xenophobic or just plain "weird" traits of the local society. E.g. one of the characters beats his wife and seems to hate everything that's Serbian, so a separate story could probably be told about that family.Acting is good, but not perfect. It seems to me that many Croatian actors act very conservatively (you have a feeling that they are uncomfortable swearing, or that they just came out of theater where they did Shakespeare). But, it doesn't ruin the movie, it's still very good.

nixona This is 'a story in a story movie'. A woman is telling a story from a few years ago to a policeman because her son is kidnapped. And that part of the movie - her story - is great. With 'crazy house' that she moved in, weird neighbours strange situations. I think that the movie would've been better if it had ended with that, without 'the present story'. I really don't see a reason for that kidnapping part. Maybe to extend the lenght of the movie (only 75 minutes), but that just lowered my opinion about this movie. So it's 8, but could have been 9 or even 10 (if it was 60 minutes:-)

kinojohn I'm working in Croatia for last two years and I must say this is a brilliant film about situation in this country in tranzition. Very dynamic and modern approach to intolerance and evil. The film showed my emotions about that country.
