Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Grbavica increases in power as it progresses. It's a movie about the ways in which people yearn for healing and about the many obstacles that work to prevent it.

fresh:
Like its music, the film's emotions proceed from lament to screaming screed to chorus of hope.

fresh:
While Grbavica concerns a legacy of hatred, it's also optimistic about Bosnia's physical and emotional reconstruction. If the film's final image doesn't move you, you'd better check your pulse.

fresh:
The portrayal of a wounded society is compelling, and the film ends on a very modestly hopeful note, appropriate for a country where the 'dreams' have been mostly painful.

fresh:
The admirable feminist agenda occasionally trips up the narrative, but the film's performances keep it on track.
