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 05/22/2023
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

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. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Jaime Pena Caimán Cuadernos de Cine 05/31/2023
