Peter Howell Toronto Star Unkovski’s coming-of-age comedy finds much to smile about in a North Macedonian village where conservative traditions clash with modern times. Rated: 3/4 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence A quiet little underdog story, but with enough charm to engage any audience. Plus, there's a pink sheep who is frankly iconic. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Between the blurring brass score and the fist-pumping techno tracks, which crescendo into an explosive ending that appears to rebalance Ahmet’s world, the revolution in “DJ Ahmet” is thumping. Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Sabina Dana Plasse Film Threat Beautiful landscape cinematography combined with authentic locations immerses you in the world, enhanced by filming effects that blend old and new, enriching the tone and mood. Rated: 9/10 Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Scott Phillips Forbes The young cast is so charming and the setting is so singularly interesting, that it makes old (and possibly tired) themes feel new again. Jun 22, 2025 Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa Macedonian director Georgi M Unkovski's first film overcomes tired coming-of-age tropes with authentic and vibrant characters and settings.
