John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) As slick and corny and sitcom-esque as 'La Cage Aux Folles'; but if its message seems obvious and unchallenging for the typical U.S. viewer, it's not so easily digested in post-Soviet Eastern Europe, as recent events in Russia have demonstrated. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 26, 2013 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian The bigotry is raw and the language isn't tame, but the way Dragojevic doesn't shy away from the hate while still managing to get laughs makes for daring entertainment.

Audience Member A film that brings together ex-Yugoslavian countries for a human rights and political cause. Criticising everything from machismo culture and (I dare to say) political correctness to police and NATO forces and being funny at the same time. I believe there is more potential when it comes to character development and the commentary on fascism, though. I guess you can't have everything in 115 minutes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Third Serbian movie I would recommend for people to see, after "The Marathon Family" and "We Are Not Angels". Probably too blatant for non-YU people, but I bet that all the named minorities from that movie have issues watching it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member ?ista zabava uz pametnu drutvenu kritiku ?ine film jednim od najboljih u ovom dijelu svijeta. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film que tous les antis mariage pour tous devrait voir... attention on s'attend à un film comique (suite à la bande-annonce) mais "La parade" va bien au-delà et ne vous laisse pas intacte ! Décidément, les films des Balkans me plaisent... je le recommande à tous, très fortement, ce film joue avec tous les préjugés qui existent, et ceci avec brio ! A voir, oui, allez, vite vite vite !! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Parada je film koji raspiruje sve poznate klieje zemalja bive Jugoslavije, naro?ito one povezane ratom. Osim toga film ima i drugu stranu, onu aktivisti?ku odnosno prikazivanje alarmantog stanja u Srbiji, to?nije Beogradu, to se ti?e tolerancije i slobode izraavanja. "Parada" ima elemente komedije i tragedije, likovi su izkopirani iz sli?nih "doma?ih" filmova a radnja je, moram priznati, originalna....iako to ne zna?i nuno dobru stvar....Redatelj Dragojevic potpuno je izkomercijalizirao film pribliavaju?i ga tako ve?im masama ili op?oj publici umanjuju?i kvalitet sadraja te dubinu i razvoj likova. Da ne duljim, ova aktivisti?ko-jugonostalgi?na disertacija s elementima komedije spada u onu vrstu filmova koju bi preporu?io svim mainstream gledateljima eljnih solidne zabave te sprdnje na ra?un onog glupog i nepotrebnog rata. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie with weak ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
