There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

As opposed to scores that you see, this film is a great piece of cinema.I guess that such a low scoring may be a result of two kinds of misunderstanding. First being the lack of knowledge, or lack of interest in Serbian mass-culture after the fall of the Berlin wall. Second, more profound one, could be being caught in the whirlpool of that culture, and not seeing it for what it really is.Although tempted, I will say nothing more, in order not to spoil your viewing.You should see this film. I delayed it for a long time, but when I finally saw it, I was very much thrilled.

I wanted to write this review after reading some of reviews of other people here. I deeply feel that is not easy to empathize with movie and situation Jasna is and although storyline isn't complicated (it is rather straightforward) the message movie is carrying is still here and it is very loud. Once you can immerse into the lives of girls and boys in the movie and empathize with them message is actually overwhelming. I feel that Maja Miloš made one of the best Serbian movies ever (and I watched most of them). Director was able to deeply understand our troubled society and how young people is adapting (or at least trying to) to its surroundings. Isidora gave flawless role and very special touch to the whole movie (I guess that she had good insight in the life of the people at her age). Maja, Isidora, Vukašin and all others involved into this movie I wish to congratulate you and just hope that Serbian cinema can find the strength to follow breakthrough this movie made in socially engaged cinema genre in Serbia.

I saw this movie in Montenegro on Herceg Novi Film Festival. I heard something about it, but it wasn't much, actually i kinda like the bad reviews, sometimes those movies are the best. But i was surprised. This is beside ''Serbian movie'' THE stupidest i have ever seen. I liked camera shots, acting, screenplay, but story-incredible stupid. Why?First if you are making movie about problem in society (and directors words were that this was the case), you need to show why and what is wrong! You want to see punishment on such a behavior (like maybe Jasna become a junkie, or expelled from high school, got pregnant etc.), because this is what happens to Jasna-like behavior. Instead, all we see is crazy 16 year old girl, playing with sexuality (normal for this age) without consequences. OK, then lets say director didn't meant (for serious) said things. Maybe Maja Milos wanted to shake ppl, to do something that was never done. In that case, this is very very poor movie. Scenes of sex are not as closely shocking, girl is 16 years old, that is young but not THAT young. I have done crazier things at that age. She is dating with guy only 2y older. So she likes to shoot herself, she is a bit stupid, big deal. What is shocking! Little butt? Not. Show me girl that is pure innocency (except nuns). During those years we all get burn cause we are constantly learning. So, its not instructively. Its not shocking. Word is poor.

the main premise of the movie is to give a brutal insight into the everyday life of the Serbian youth through the eyes of a coming-of-age girl entering the adult (sex) life.there is not much of a plot, and development of the characters is shallow. it seems that the main concern for the author is to shock and provoke the audience through the scenes of underage explicit eroticism. it's a shame the move hasn't went further with the story, and stops the half way compared to the likes of "kids (1995)". it more follows the pattern of the recent series of Serbian movies: "a Serbian movie", "the life and death of a porno gang"...
