Klip

For some people this is practically porn, for others a chilling testimony; for me, it's equally far from both. After a few shocked reactions, I was almost expecting another A Serbian Film in terms of explicitness, and Clip reveals enough purposefully and sporadically. But I wouldn't exaggerate with the testimony aspect, either. Although we encounter similarly minded groups of sexually awakened teenagers every day on the street, for me the whole plot of the central couple and their (dis)connection is terribly exaggerated and overdone, maybe so everyone will realize that this is really a warning and an important film. That's why I still don't know for sure whether the main character had trust issues or was simply a selfish idiot. My greatest appreciation is therefore for the fact that even during the repetitive alternating of endless shots and domestic depression, Maja Miloš didn't lose my attention. (20.09.2012)

An explicit testimony about a generation of shared narcissism that obscures very human motives - fear of death, closeness, intimacy. A de facto more radical version of Fish Tank, in which the author does not try to stylize the emptiness in any way, but lets it resound in the raw and coldly dead ubiquity of a filming mobile phone. The assumption that this is just an empty controversy reveals a certain immaturity of the viewer - the inability to perceive acute content in social and psychological contexts. Under a crust of stupid lascivious hits and sweaty blowjobs in toilet stalls, we have a very universal story about maturation and fragility, which is disguised by familiar poses. An excellent debut of a director who has something to say. (28.08.2012)

Clip is authentic, well-played and sexually open, but not self-serving. The sex scenes build the emerging relationship of the central couple, which gets interesting in the second half of the film. The main character’s family background is more boring, slowing the film down rather than giving it another dimension. Though it is an honest and distinctive flick, Clip is less striking than Kids, as it does not have a bold point that would make it unforgettable. (31.01.2013)

The Little Big World of the Young Jasnic, or a Teenager's Journey to Find Love, Self-Realization, Self-Knowledge and Coping with a Difficult Family Situation. Or those who do not find something of themselves in it have not lived. And if you don't have your entire youth filmed on your cell phone, then not at all. And Milica Pavlovic is a real exclusive.

Very difficult to evaluate film and I quite understand the conflicting reactions, comments and ratings ranging from waste to five stars. I have read several comments and I was struck by the one from the user premyslm, probably a representative of the Czech distributor. I agree with him that the Czech Republic and Serbia are both close and distant to each other, and that the director managed, albeit in an extremely naturalistic and raw form, to depict the cruel world of today's youth influenced by modern technologies. However, I wonder whether there weren't too many explicit scenes and whether at least a little bit of Belgrade could have been captured in brighter colors. However, this is just the view of an enthusiastic traveler who would like to visit Belgrade and this film was definitely not a commercial for "Visit Belgrade" :) (03.08.2012)
