Unfortunately this movie could have been really good, but It came out average. Its a bit sad if this is best we can do. Again, and again directors are butchering this deep and painful story just to film an average movie.

Actors are trying to act a bit too much those characters from Vukovar at that time (none of them has that charisma, not even close), and first of all that is a bit hard to do, and second of all actors who were born after the war and (thankfully) didnt go throught it, cant act like those men at that time.

Of course it was nice to hear Goran Bare at the start and at the end of the film with the song, but rest of it was like every other Croatian movie.

Again, actors should have learn by now that you simply have to be yourself and if you are good at it, you are GREAT, otherwise no act can look nature and awesome.

This can also be seen at 90% of other Croatian movies/series. I hope that in future, actors will have more freedom to act like themselves and not to act like half-robots when they are speaking (people who speak Croatian will understand this..). Its just not looking natural and common.

Be careful with these 10 star reviews, wouldnt be first time that happened, because a lot of actors/staff/family are voting here also.

5/10.

Unfortunately, this film did not convey the desired emotions to me! The film is certainly better than most films from the 90s that dealt with the subject of the Vukovar tragedy. But this flick is not that one! We're still waiting for THAT movie.

Don't believe reviews with 10 stars! This movie is for a maximum of 5 stars. I wasn't so generous.

The movie is nowhere near as good as this story deserves! At times, the outdated directing, drags out the story and gives it another, should I say, boring character. Shame for the missed opportunity.

In this film, we follow several characters and their fates. The action takes place before and after the attack on Vukovar.

The Sixth Bus is a poignant drama about the fall of Vukovar, which is based on the true story of the so-called the sixth bus that took the captured defenders and the wounded from the Vukovar Hospital, whose fate is not known even after more than 30 years.

A young American journalist is trying to find out the fate of a man from her mother's past, a missing Croatian soldier from Vukovar.

What is good about the film is that it managed to convey emotions and atmosphere. After the fall of Vukovar, terrible crimes took place, the missing bodies are still being searched for today.

Of course, everyone would like this film to be better than it is, but honestly, this is not bad at all, especially when we compare it to most Croatian productions. The direction could be a little better at times, but still, the film is worth watching.

I'm pretty generous with the 8/10 rating, it's hard to be objective when it comes to this topic, but hey, the rating is that way because they put in the effort to tell this story.

The actors are mediocre, although even sometimes they are not that bad. The point of this film is not that, but to encourage the talk about these events and not to forget them because we should learn from history.

Terrible things happened in Vukovar, they should never be forgotten and should serve as an eternal reminder of what hatred can do.

Vukovar defended itself against a more numerous and better equipped enemy, and foreign "experts" predicted that the city would fall in a few days. However, thanks to the heroic resistance of the defenders, the city held on for much more than that.

It was a battle that ended up costing the attackers of the city dearly, the losses of the JNA and Serbian paramilitary units were huge and that somehow changed the course of the war.

The city of Vukovar was destroyed by the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) and Serb paramilitaries. The massacre occurred shortly after Vukovar's capture by the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) and paramilitaries from Serbia. In that period, it was the fiercest battle in Europe since 1945, and Vukovar was the first major European city completely destroyed since World War II.

The Croatian city of Vukovar was defended by around 1,800 soldiers of the Croatian National Guard (ZNG) and civilian volunteers, against as many as 36,000 JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) soldiers and Serb paramilitaries equipped with heavy artillery.

The war eventually ended with a Croatian victory and the liberation of the occupied territories.

Watching this is a test of patience... Dialogs are SO bad. Why do they force these poor actors to talk this way is a total mistery to me. None of it works, because this is not the natural way for people to talk.

The editing is sloppy, slow and confusing. The scenes linger for too long, the pauses between the lines are stretched out, it all starts to feel a bit boring very quickly. This very old-school approach to movie making, almost like the old Yugoslav propaganda WW2 movies.

Camera work is average. Sometimes the camera is static, other times it wobbles for no reason, there's very little consistency in style. Also, the inconsistent color grading doesn't help.

The mixed timelines and their different tones are tiring the viewer. Am I watching a war movie, a documentary or a soap opera? So many tropes, so many cliches and making sure to mention all the famous names of Vukovar siege story feels contrived.

And that's it. Another missed chance to actually make a good movie about what happened in Vukovar. Who knows if we'll ever get the definitive movie about it...

Just about the only reedeming quality are the fighting scenes, where Zivko Anocic saves the day with his acting.

Finally a telling of the story that conveys empathy for humans on both sides of this tragic conflict. Galic tells the story with a pace that allows the viewer to get to know the characters and the town. At the heart of it, this is a movie about friendship and brotherly love, and the madness of war. Men caught up in identification with their tribes forgetting about the humanity of other men. The movie is well acted and there is a certain innocence the actors convey while also expressing a weariness of life, of conflict, of governments who cannot coexist. Most importantly this movie accurately expresses the toughness and grit of the Croatian and Serbian people while also expressing their big heartedness, their love of county, and their love of friendship and social connection. If you want to understand more about this area of the world and its people, watch The Sixth Bus.

The Sixth Bus is a gripping, human-centered take on the battle of Vukovar, showing the war's impact beyond just the battlefield. It digs into identity, friendship, and the way war makes people forget each other's humanity. The film takes its time, letting you connect with the characters and feel the weight of their world. It's raw, tragic, but also full of heart, capturing both the toughness and deep sense of connection among the people caught in the conflict. With strong performances and a haunting soundtrack, it's more than just a war film-it's about memory, loss, and trying to make sense of the past. Highly enjoyable!

This film is really good and it sends strong message.

It shows what happened in Vukovar during the most difficult years for Croatian people, where people suffered a lot and lost their families.

Eduard Galic and his team did a great job!!!

The SIXTH BUS is a movie you need to see to comment on. And several times. Because in the film, every scene and every character has its own context, its personal history and values. The film far exceeds expectations because it places the battle for Vukovar in a different environment and dimensions yet supported by facts and human values.

The actors, directors and producers, as well as the masters of tone and make-up, did an excellent job, and if we add to that an impressive musical background, there is only one recommendation: Watch to comment!

Excellent Rade Vulin, Marko Petric, Masa Dordevic, Zala Djuric, Zivko Anocic, Pavle Matusko, a remarkable story that places Croatian film on a higher level!

Great movie with amazing actors. I really enjoyed watching it. I liked the theme and war scenes were filmed brilliantly. The soundtrack is impressive. Worth a watch 10/10.

Great story, perfect music, great directing by old school film maker Eduard Galic. His experience you can see in every single shot. Nice way to approach and tell this sad story and do a movie about such delicate theme.

Great war movie. Actors are brilliant. It touched me on so many levels. Music is good and war scenes seem like taken from the archive. Female lead is very good too bit villains are played magnific.

Very realistic movie about a war in Croatia during 90s. It's such a good representation of those difficult times unlike the general. Music is also amazing. Actors are top notch especially the rising star filip mayer.

The "Sixth Bus" is a film about a young American trying to find a man from her past never to be found, during a biggest conflict on European soil since WWII-battle of Vukovar and it was directed by Eduard Galic. Also the compelling lead performance by Slovenian actress Zala Djuric and a great soundtrack make this movie not only worth watching but takes the whole war story to a whole new level and it also draws viewers closer to the events. It's not on any streaming platform but it might be in the future.

If you're interested in the movie, then check out the trailer which shows a brief glimpse of the film itself.

This movie leaves a bitter aftertaste.

I don't understand the flaws mentioned in critics, especially ones pointing out the mystery that crawls alluringly through the play. Such a strong message to the viewer!

What else in war is there than silence of the dead, and the trauma of the living? I think that is exactly what writers wanted to achieve, and they did.

What I like the most is the scenery, Croatia is the most beautiful country in the world. I hope too see more material of this director soon.

Personally, I would absolutely LOVE to see the next movie contain bona fide factual news reports from frontlines refurbished and incorporated with a lookalike actors performing on a highest level. Project would demand higher budget, but Croatian government should view this as a smart investment. It could have biggest reach of the decade. I would go so far and say it would outreach Narcos or anything else of the last decade's franchise.

Wow. Sixth Bus completely blew me away. The team did an incredible job capturing the raw emotion, tension, and heartbreak of war, but in a way that feels deeply personal and real.

The cinematography? Absolutely stunning. There are moments where the visuals alone hit you so hard, no words are needed. The sound design and score add so much depth, making you feel every ounce of fear, hope, and desperation. And the performances-just wow. Every actor brought such raw authenticity that it felt less like watching a movie and more like witnessing real lives unfold.

What really stuck with me was how the film balances history with human emotion. It doesn't just tell you what happened; it makes you feel it. The tension builds so naturally that by the end, you're completely invested, holding your breath without even realizing it.

Honestly, this is one of those films that lingers in your mind long after it's over. It's powerful, beautifully made, and 100% worth watching.

Super movie. Great actors. Perfect music. Battle for Vukovar and croatian independence. This film send strong massage against the war. Worth a watch. Great yob Edo & Dominik. Love, wartime friendship, the immeasurable sacrifice of civilians and soldiers, courage mixed with madness are excellently portrayed in the film. Along with actors who are excellently i would especially emphasize the music which is masterful. I definitely recommend watching the movie. Real good yob. I watched the film in one breath and could easily watch it several more times. The film shows very well that the heart is so much stronger weapon than powerful techniques and aggressors.
