Review of Grbavica

Grbavica (2006)
8/10
War and consequences
20 April 2007
This movie is not entertainment in the (Hollywood) main stream kind of meaning. You're not supposed to feel good about anything. Why should you, while watching a woman in her desperate attempts to lead a normal life after a war (balkan war) that destroyed so many homes? The answer is, you should feel her pain and that is the tricky part for the director and the script. Can they still hold their audience, while showing us raw and gritty life situations, where we might even hate the main character?

The answer is yes! They can. But which is also a testament to the actress! Yes this is a drama, about the effects a war can have on people and how they try to deal with it ... and it is a good one at that!
