Admirable film.
... View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

... View MoreJovan is a trainee architect who acts like a middle class playboy – his best mate is obsessed with scoring with 'the ladies' and likes nothing more than to compare conquest notes with Jovan. Then Jovan meets Maja who works in a bookshop and seems interesting, demur and very attractive so they get it on and he tells her he wants, the classic, 'open relationship'.Well soon he starts to find out there is more to Mija than meets the eye and thanks to the intrigues afforded through social media he starts to suspect that she may be not telling him everything.Now this is actually a very good film, it is well acted and directed and the story is compelling - the suffocation that jealousy causes is very well realised and the tensions get slowly ramped up like the turning of a screw. It does seem to get a bit confused towards the end – but that may have been deliberate – to say any more is running the old plot spoiler risk. In Serbian with good sub titles this is a modern day tale that will have you thinking about social media and the new dimensions that it can bring on your love life.
... View MoreA film about an open relationship and one losing it in the way to find himself trapped inside filled with jealousy. Really a great idea, I have seen similar films from the European and Hollywood, but this one had potential to be different and it could not. It is very confusing. Not just for the viewers, seems even the writers did not know how to end the tale after great initiation. Actually, I was not expecting any clever twist towards the end, but this story failed to deliver even a normal ending. So I'm very disappointed with how it finishes it off without proper reasoning.The title was a mislead. You have to wait till the finale to understand it, it was also not that effective. The story was, actually there's nothing, or maybe you can say it's a one liner. When two young people make a deal to keep their relationship open, one could not cope with it after some time together and that brings the mistrust, eventually doubts arise on what kind of affair they are having. At some point it could get ugly, but what stops them, especially the future of them decided in the final segment of the tale.So I kind of liked the first half, the real problem was the following half. I know the film character had confused over something, but why should the filmmaker confuse us as well. Should have detailed that part to come out clear. Though it was different, and still not the best solution for a tale like this. The actors were good, and decently made film, I mean the production, which I think is okay for a watch, yet it is not for everybody. Particularly for having the adult contents, it suits better for the grown ups.4/10
... View MoreI didn't understand if she really went there or it was just a lie to keep him away from her. Can anyone help me understand this? Nowadays, i see people around, they are constantly with their phones and i don't think it is cool anymore. So, these movie made me think about this age we are living, about the individualism we are facing too. Social media is available for everyone, but some people lose their mind with these social information because they can not handle it at once. So, I strongly believe social networks are not for everyone. Sometimes, people are carried away by the media without thinking if it is positive for them or not. I wait for your answers, thanks.
... View Moreits theme, its manner to use sexuality, the precise portrait of dominated society by internet and pornography, the spirit of a special age, the levels of a love story are arguments who defines a remarkable film. a film with good script, inspired performances, the right atmosphere, who has the virtue to be provocative not for the sex scenes but for the many open windows. because it is a film about Serbia, about career, importance of studies and jealousy. about insecure states and about masks. about illusory forms of truth and about the fear to loss the other. but its basic gift is to be reflection of its public. because it propose not the ordinary recipes of teenager films. because it has few traces of XIx Century Russian literature. and the final preserves touching form of poetry. short, a provocative film.
