Natasha Senjanovic The Hollywood Reporter Deserves all the attention it can get. May 25, 2010 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Lungulov's touch is delicate, even piercingly so, and his direction of actors, especially Thornton and Karanovic, is beautifully nuanced. Rated: 3.5/5 May 20, 2010 Full Review Daniel M. Gold New York Times In the end, the film has more than a few moments that linger: like slivovitz, it sneaks up on you. Rated: 3/5 May 14, 2010 Full Review Robert W. Butler Kansas City Star A quietly amusing minimalist tale of a grouch who finds he's still capable of pleasure. Rated: 3/4 Aug 26, 2010 Full Review Rob Thomas Wisconsin State Journal In a way, the fact that the grey, austere Serbian city is such an odd choice for the middle-age romance "Here and There" is one of the film's charms. Rated: 3/4 Aug 26, 2010 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Although teetering on the brink of soppiness in places, and treading a well-worn path, the soft-in-the-middle script is lifted immeasurably by towering performances. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A sweet movie. It's about people's relationships and having a good heart. It has some funny characters and it's never too dramatic or too much of farce. It is as it should be. Gentle, kind and tender. David Thornton and Mirjana Karanovic put out great performances, the rest of the cast is charming. This is a good picture. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I say this is brilliant. David Thornton must have lived his life up to this point just in preparation for the role. Watch it, then go right into "the making of". Makes you want to start life over as a filmmaker. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Minimalistic, warm, excellent actors, great script, subtle humour, beautiful details... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite an interesting film about a depressed, down and out, as well as broke American saxophonist from New York who goes to Belgrade, Serbia to marry his friend's girlfriend (for money of course) so that she can come to America to be with him. There is more to the movie than that but know its worth watching once, so check it out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and charming. It is rare that I see a film with a character I really don't like and bit by bit come to love that person over the course of the film. Deftly drawn. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member David Thornton plays a depressed, middle-aged 52 year old NYC jazz musician Robert who suffers from what might be called a musical version of writer's block, facing eviction from his fed up girlfriend. He strikes an unexpected deal with Serbian emigrant Branko who will pay him $5,000 if Robert goes to Belgrade and marries Branko's girlfriend Ivana (Jelena Mrdja), so that she can get a visa and move to New York City but then Branko's van is stolen. Robert finds himself marooned - unpaid, luggage less, and wearing another man's mismatched sweat suit - in Belgrade. Things begin to look up when he meets Olga, Branko's mother, a lovely and gracious divorcée, with whom Robert stays who just so happens to be fluent in English. Olga's charm ignites a spark of life in the dour Robert. Will Branko be able to replace his van and pay Robert? Who will Robert choose to bring to the Big Apple, Ivana or Olga? A bit of trivia for you: The score's title track was written for the film by Cyndi Lauper, who has a cameo and is Thornton's real-life wife. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=o6cfna" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/o6cfna.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=10h92qu" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/10h92qu.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
