I love this girl! The movie is a little hard to follow unless you really pay attention but I thought it was very good. The boyfriend was the biggest loser ever! Always had to be right even though he didn't have a clue. He should have listened to the girl. She definitely had the balls in the relationship!! It really made me sick listening to the guy, even to the end when she saved his worthless life, he had to be the big man, thinking he was so superior to her both morally and intellectually. I was just hoping he would die!!
Another garbage movie portraying the poor muslims as the victims of the Bosnian War. Absolutely atrocious acting and a fantasy story line. If you're gonna do a movie about Srebrenica do one where you show how they slaughtered the Serbs in the surrounding villages or the one where they ethnically cleansed Sarajevo and reduced the Serb population to less than 2%.
And this is one of them.I kinda got what the director was trying to say and it does work in certain aspects but the film is too dark , depressing and slow.It is quite visceral and while there isn't a lot of gore and much is left to the imagination, it is in the vein of torture porn akin to movies like Hostel.It started off quite well and seemed an original setting in Bosnia but the pace is turgid and the lack of subtitles does have a slightly negative effect on the viewer and I speak Slovak and Czech and could understand some of what was being said, it still was annoying and confusing to not know exactly what is being said at times and I know the director was using this for effect but it did not work in my opinion!Its definitely not a 1 or 2 out of 10 as many of the other reviewers have said but then you cannot legislate for the crash, bang, wallop expectations of the pea brained reviewers who cannot seem to delve into the deeper elements of the subject and story the director was trying to put forth! The acting also was not bad , particularly from the female lead; i though she was excellent contrary once again to all the other reviewers who gave it a poor 1 out of 10 which means its the worst movie you have ever seen which it definitely is not; we have movies like "THE BAD BATCH" for that!
The summary: it's a stupid movie taken mostly closeup from the back mostly in the dark
