Sesti autobus

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
