I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This original and intriguing film asks some interesting questions and gives you room to think and imagine among the layers of meaning and symbolism. I'd call it an art-house metaphysical thriller, with absolutely stunning imagery and beautiful sound design and music. The writer/director was a student of Bela Tarr at his film factory in Sarajevo when she shot this film, and given the attention to detail and atmosphere, combined with the slow-burning tension, I'd say she was taught well by her cinematic mentor.
