Did we watch the same movie?

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2013)

First of all before I go on I want to recommend you watch the movie in it's original language of Bosnian (and I believe it includes some Serbian and Croatian.) I'm not really sure how that works but (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_language) did a nice job of explaining it. So once again I think its very important for everyone to realize that my review is only talking about the version in Bosnian. So as far as the acting went I thought it was excellent and they all seemed very believable. With the subtitles in English their accents all seemed good to me. Now of course the story line doesn't change in a different language but I can't really go into it too much since I don't want to include any spoilers. I guess all I have to say is this, it's definitely not a formula movie. If you go in expecting it to be like the typical movie you watch you won't enjoy it. Just go in with an open mind. Of course I am biased as I personally enjoy non-formula movies that are willing to take a risk. but I think there is a lot of symbolism in the movie and I think it isn't afraid to try and address some real issues that are going on. People say the story line is disjointed but I think it all ties together nicely at the end. I personally compare it to movies like There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men. Now I would say those two are better movies but the styles are similar. Now there's clearly a lot of people who would disagree with me but I felt like that was why I should write a review supporting it. In the end I found it very entertaining and well done and definitely recommend you watch it (with an open mind.)
