Barry Hertz Globe and Mail May 30
Although the performances are strong and Juka’s arguments against bigotry and fascism are sincere, the filmmaking carries an air of conventionality, its images stark but somehow superficial at the same time. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Variety Dec 31
There is the sense that “Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day” is the kind of film that Lovro and his band of bohemians would make if left entirely to their own devices, for better or worse. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Jun 21

6/10
The film (which was Croatia’s selection for Oscar contention this past awards cycle) buckles under close scrutiny of Juka’s scripting and characterization, but the performances, sentiment, perspective, and thoughtfulness keep things nicely on track. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
