I've already watched a couple of movies about crazy teenagers (Thirteen, The Babysitters, series Skins) but this is probably most explicit and closest to me because come from a similar environment. I especially liked the music, Folk Music has never sounded good like in this film, according to that put the right thing in the right place. Young actors have done a super job and the director for whom I've never heard before had done excellent mix between footage from a mobile device and movie camera, I was not so painful to watch as usually After I've seen the Serbian movie and "Život i smrt porno bande" which gave me nightmares I was a little scared of the new Serbian Brutale but still not even close that hardcore though the very real and tragic.

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.

the main premise of the movie is to give a brutal insight into the everyday life of the Serbian youth through the eyes of a coming-of-age girl entering the adult (sex) life.

there is not much of a plot, and development of the characters is shallow. it seems that the main concern for the author is to shock and provoke the audience through the scenes of underage explicit eroticism. it's a shame the move hasn't went further with the story, and stops the half way compared to the likes of "kids (1995)". it more follows the pattern of the recent series of Serbian movies: "a Serbian movie", "the life and death of a porno gang"...

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).
