Las herederas (2018)
Excellent acting, horribly boring story
All the actresses in the film were absolutely stunning. The performances were layered, full of fine, subtle emotional expressions, transferring the character states very well.
On the other hand, story was dragged and boring to death, without much happening. Although the characters were played well, their stories were quite uninteresting and tiresome.
I'm a 25 year old male, so maybe that's a big factor and there's a possibility that I just couldn't connect with the characters and their stories.
Otvorena (2016)
Otvorena is a nice Serbian indie film about desire and repression of it
Momir Milosevic is a young Serbian director with strong passion for horror films. His latest film, Otvorena, which premiered on FEST - International Film Festival in Belgrade, is also his first feature. It tells the story of Alisa (Jelena Puzic), who finds out that she is very attracted to her friend from school, Sara (Milena Djurovic). Her needs are not met by Sara, and Alisa slowly begins to fall into depression which is often manifested in horrifying and grotesque way. Sara's rejection is partly driven by the environment, especially by a school psychologist, who suggests that they should not see each other for some time. Otvorena is beautifully shot in gorgeous black and white photography, which perfectly suits film's themes and overall atmosphere. It succeeds in keeping the viewer's attention for a whole time. The only problem is too formal and sometimes wooden dialogue which is grammatically perfect. People in Serbia don't talk like that and it is unconvincing a little bit. But other than that, main actresses are very good at physical acting and showing emotions. I hope that Momir will direct more films, and I believe that he's got the strength to provide something fresh and rewarding for Serbian cinema.
