Don't spend time on this movie, it is depressingly depressing and leads to nothing. It is about adolescents without future in a derelict suburb in Serbia. These young people apparently were not guided in there change-over from child-play to sex-driven behavior, they are now at. They show no restraint at all. The film ends how it started, it is an empty container. There is another reason why this movie is to be avoided. If a character is sad, the actor needs not to be, he acts as if he is sad. If character is happy, the actor acts as if he is happy, he needs not to be. If a character has sex, the actor acts as if he has sex. You feel where this went wrong. The actors, minors, indulge way to much in sex, explicit sex. And although the credits say prosthetics where used, it is obvious this movie crossed the line between a play and pornography. And that is more than sad, considering that the leading part is played by a girl of only 14 years old. You could just as well say this movie borders on child abuse.

First of all, thx for the amazing acting performed by those actresses especially Isidora. You did well.

I was thing to give 5 out of 10 because there was nothing to see in this movie. A lot of kissing, a lot of partying, drinking and teenage shenanigans. Not much about the characters. But the scene in the bathroom where Jasna and Dole had a conversation about Jasna's father might be very indicative, that despite her appearance that made people believe she was a bad teenage girl who didn't care about anything. She actually did care about her father. She acted like she had no feeling because she didn't know what to do. Children in her age usually love hanging out with friends and being troublemakers. She was one of them. She loved her father, and she loved Dole. Children in her age need more attention from their parents. They need to teach them how to behave. Guidance and correction are needed when a mistake is made.

Emphasised too much on sexual scenes. No good storyline. No conclusion drawn. But the concept could be exploited in a tragic dramatic way.

I saw this at the Munich Film Festival and was very affected by it. It is not a perfect film -- others have already mentioned the clichés--but the overall effect was very powerful. The main actress was brilliant as well as beautiful as the disturbed 14 year old and I predict she will be a future star.

The director had some interesting things to say during the Q and A session afterwards. Commenting on the explicit sex scenes she said that it was realistic and that teens nowadays were having more and more extreme sex as a direct result of porn. "I guarantee teens here have seen double and quadruple penetrations online!"

"Enjoy" is the wrong word for the experience once has when watching this but it is a film that should be watched by parents and teens everywhere.

Is this the kind of nihilistic world we are leaving for our future generations?

As a side note--I am sure this film will be banned in many countries (which is a pity) as it could be seen, by the more conservative, as child pornography.

I have just returned from cinema and I am very pleased with this movie. It's fresh, it's bold, it's contemporary and it's believable. The young cast and the young director have made a wonderful debut.

Some people left the screening obviously shocked by the explicitness of the sex scenes, but a lot more understood that we cannot avoid sex as a sort of human interaction and communication. Things that happen in bed are indicators of the quality of a relationship.

Frustration and passion of the young generation, living in bleak and volatile conditions of the 21. century world shaken by both material crisis and spiritual crisis, are the key elements of this movie.

The realism of explicit sex scenes and violent party scenes is what makes this movie a Serbian version of the cult movie Kids (1995) and the energy of the characters resembles the TV series Skins (2007).
