Heavens Above

The movie could be basically separated into three parts. The first part was for me the most enjoyable and comical. This was the part of which the trailer was also introduced with. So I really didn't know that the movie would be sliced up like that. The first part introduces a man who suddenly gets a halo on his head and the family stars to remove it any way they could. The other two parts were basically like two other movies which had nothing to do with the beginning. So I really don't understand why to make 3 different movies when you've got a nice idea for the first part. I really don't know why this movie was over 2 hours long, it just didn't work for me. I'm really sad because I loved the first part and the movie would get at least 8 stars of 10 if they would have continued from there or stopped the movie at 80 minutes or so.

Very unpleasant and disturbing movie, unlike popular Netflix titles, however with a clear message for a need of moral and ethical revolution. Movie that is hard to understand, not because visual experience, but because ignorance of inner calls.

This film raises few important questions.

1. Which drugs was Dragojevic using when making it? It obviously gave him some rather creative ideas but sadly not the capacity to develop them into anything comprehensive, meaningful or even entertaining.

2. How was this movie financed? If any of it is done with tax payers' money, we would like a refund. If anything, this movie has highlighted that just because a renowned name is directing a film, even though it unites the whole Balkans, it can still be a complete waste.

Finally I would recommend to the artist to seek therapy for some traumas he obviously suffered during his formative years and to stop taking it out on the spectators in the form of unnecessary violence.

The movie was not quite what I've expected, but the good things is - it exceeded my expectations. Very good portrayal of living in Balkans and its value system.

Long after the credits roll, you'll be questioning the ending and mulling over the tough, important themes. One of the most interesting move I've seen in 2021.
