12/17/2014 Well done Serbian production. Bravo Dragan See more 07/20/2014 The story of the Yugoslavian's team's preparation in the lead up to the first FIFA World Cup in Uruguay, 1930, is easily rousing stuff and creates a yearning for simpler times as far as the "beautiful game" is concerned, but the time given to the internal squabbles over women among leading team members won't be of major point of interest to football aficionados, even if it's dramatically sound. Impressive period detail is seen in the costumes and production design, but they are let down by the no-frills cinematography.

It's extremely patriotic, dreadful screenwriting, it features poor acting, it's filled with nothing but stereotypes, women are merely shown as sex symbols, it's overly sentimental and in the end this is nothing more but a very cheesy feel-good sports movie with a happy end and a crowd singing a nationalistic Serbian song to top it off in patriotic fashion. Avoid at all cost. See more 08/16/2012 Very positive movie about friendship, love, national passion, dreams, role models - it seems it's simply about everything. Another sign that European cinema can challenge Hollywood. Way to go! See more 02/23/2012 This is a real hidden gem directed by Dragan Bjelogrlić about the events leading to the participation of the Yugoslavia national football team at the first FIFA World Cup in Montevideo, Uruguay in July 1930. This is one of the best screenwriting I've seen in a long time! I wish that some of the actors were up to it, but even with a crew like this it is worth watching! The film was awarded the 'Audience Choice Award' for best film in the main competition program at the 33rd Moscow International Film Festival. "Montevideo, Taste of a Dream" was Serbian Oscar candidate for Best Foreign Language Film, as well. It is a sport story of sportsmen who want to live and play, to feel and experience everything possible... actually it is so different from any other sport's movie that I am not sure if it's not more suitable for some other categories. Humorous, sometimes rough around the edges, gives you that feel of real life and how it should be when you're living that life in its fullness! Enjoyable, inspirational, lifting, with lots of panache and uniqueness! What more do you want? I hope you'll have a chance to see it soon! See more Read all reviews
