Haunted by the very real ghosts of the past, Lost Country is a bruising, sensitive portrait of innocence lost in the shadow of Milošević’s reign. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International May 22, 2023
This impressive, nuanced picture works as a coming-of-age story, an examination of Balkan generational guilt and a mercurial portrait of a career politician. Go to Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial Jul 18, 2025
3.5/5
It manages to balancedly blend the story of a country in conflict with a coming-of-age story about a boy who is forced to destroy the idyllic image he had of his mother in order to transcend and stand on his own feet.

A film as correct as it is short... a manufactured film that leaves one with the feeling of having seen it a thousand times. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa May 24, 2023
[It's] a despairing and pained film, shot with an emotional reserve that suggests torrents of sorrow running just below the surface; it is only a shame that when those emotions do emerge, they feel rather too sleek and simple to ring perfectly true. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
