Boyd van Hoeij The Film Verdict A woman tries to survive in the shark tank that is the teachers' lounge in this promising Croatian debut. Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa Sonja Tarokić's feature debut is a master class in directing, with a strong social message and powerful emotion in a setting that represents a microcosm of Croatian society. Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Mariona Borrull El antepenúltimo mohicano The camera feeds on shock and friction.
