Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org 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. Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 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. May 22, 2023 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) Serbian guilt through the Romanian cinematic style. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Jaime Pena Caimán Cuadernos de Cine 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] May 31, 2023 Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa [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.
