Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Delirious in its excess, but never less than ferociously intelligent and operatically emotional, Underground represents one of those rare, exhilarating moments when an outsize artistic vision is fueled by an apparently unlimited budget. Not to be missed.

fresh:
A triumph of mise en scene mated to a comic vision that keeps topping its own hyperbole.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
A rich, vibrant, visually spectacular survey of the changes the place has gone through during the past 50 years.

fresh:
Kusturica takes us from wacky farce to harrowing grief to lyrical fantasy to bloody horror. To ignore any side of Underground is to do it injustice.

rotten:
Underground is a bizarre, often repellent anti-war parable that takes forever to state the obvious but hits some scattered high notes on the way.
