The relationship between tourism and ideology in four post-war Bosnia and Herzegovinian towns is examined.

Kate Taylor

Globe and Mail

The psychology behind the popularity of these sites is intriguing, and Drljaca's camera travels each scene with slow insistence on its remarkable beauty.

Rated: 3/4

Vladan Petkovic

Cineuropa

[Filmmaker Igor] Drljača got two very important things right: the decision to interview only older protagonists... in a country from which a startling proportion of young people emigrate to the West; and to let the places speak for themselves.

Brett Pardy

Seventh Row

The juxtaposition of all four tourism strategies leaves an uneasy sense that beneath the promotion of each site's claim to historical authenticity, something significant is being left out: Bosniak history.

Cinema Axis

The Stone Speakers presents a meditative look at a society still trying to reconcile with the lingering impact of war.

NOW Toronto

It's a timely film given recent debates around public monuments and who we decide to memorialize and why, but Drljaca keeps a cool distance.

Rated: 4/5

Andrew Parker

The Gate

The filmmaker is able to immerse viewers so fully into the day-to-day life of the Bosnian tourism industry that they can almost feel like a local.

Rated: 7.5/10
