4/5
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Milana Vujkov Labyrinthine tale of grand entrepreneurship and the fickleness of fortune, with perfectly formed aesthetics and jazz-beat editing, cerebrally satisfying in its every mannered whimsy [...] warmly nestles a sweet story of fatherly love.

3/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Milana Vujkov Johnson's underlying strong sentiment on the topic at hand (yet again) sidelined the whodunit at its centre, rendering the tale increasingly shambolic [...] [but] Knives Out remains sugar-grade addictive.

2/5
The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Milana Vujkov A film thematically sawed in half, as if penned by two entirely different minds, styles, and social politics, glued in the middle by Keira Knightley‘s determined performance.

5/5
Soundtrack to a Coup d'État (2024) Milana Vujkov An inspired detective-like piecing-together of a painful, chronologically shredded historical trajectory that might have been too ambitious (or impossible) to cover without the cleverly devised bebop shortcuts.

3/5
Nosferatu (2024) Milana Vujkov This fascinating story of death and desire slowly succumbs to becoming the very disease it depicts, mesmerised by its own beautiful, soulless emptiness, fully open to the seductive corruption it so masterfully and pedantically conveys.

4/5
A Complete Unknown (2024) Milana Vujkov Electrifying (pun intended) [...] despite a few glitches in its finely threaded matrix, mostly in places where it tries too hard to be Dylanesque.

2/5
A Sacrifice (2024) Milana Vujkov Quickly slips into a rushed set of simplified conclusions which undermine the backbone of a solid story tackling important themes — the danger of groupthink, eco-doomsday cults, and the siren spell of internet gurus.

3/5
Juror #2 (2024) Milana Vujkov It is a pity that in steadily manning this ship, Eastwood stops short each time the actors arrive at a point of inner truth, pulling them back into the broader picture, pushing for the examination of an entire society.

1/5
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Milana Vujkov A failed musical courtroom melodrama, whose bloated agenda betrayed Phoenix’s singular creation, a living entity of its own, haunting the popular mythos, which is possibly the worst thing storytellers can do.

5/5
Conclave (2024) Milana Vujkov Pure cinema. Its script airtight, intelligent, playful, and subversively camp [...] serving perfectly as a baroque map to its labyrinthian intrigue.

3/5
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) Milana Vujkov A dented but delightful genre upgrade, steering the archetypal tale of undead bloodsuckers into comfortable Addams Family territory — then radicalising it with a daring Nietzschean twist.

4/5
Freud's Last Session (2023) Milana Vujkov Smooth and enjoyable as a gorgeous piece of chamber music.

2/5
Surveilled (2024) Milana Vujkov Albeit being a lightweight documentary on an extremely heavyweight subject, [it] still deserves kudos on tackling this terrifying topic, and the endless dire implications abuse of spyware has.
Posted Nov 28, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
The Universal Theory (2023) Milana Vujkov A feverish metaphysical noir, opaque, dreamlike, shot in exquisite monochrome, yet it fails in its pedestrian third act, leading us to a place where all its strange strands meet, and instead of ending in apt enigma — delivers an essay.
Posted Sep 14, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Milana Vujkov [Its] weaknesses [...] are mostly of the thespian kind, as the acrobatics of the mise-en-scène are as diabolically fascinating as ever, and hardly skip a beat in the red dust of the post-Australian Wasteland.
Posted Aug 28, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg (2023) Milana Vujkov Fascinating and classy, both tough-as-nails and tender — an exhilarating watch.

4/5
Priscilla (2023) Milana Vujkov There was a void, endless and dark, in the comfort of Priscilla's existence. As well as love, disturbingly abusive yet enduring. And Sofia Coppola nailed all that queasy glamour and somnambulic psychosexual malaise to a tee.

3/5
Back to Black (2024) Milana Vujkov Make[s] the central emotional drama of [Amy Winehouse's] final years clearer to the audiences by elevating her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil to the position it actually had in her life.

5/5
La Chimera (2023) Milana Vujkov Poetic, mischievous, perfectly formed [...] Half fairytale, half heist, the film is a chimera in its own right, a hybrid consisting of parts that usually would not fit, but seem to exist together on screen, seamlessly.

1/5
Dune: Part Two (2024) Milana Vujkov A triumph of style over substance.
Posted May 27, 2024  Edit critic review
2/5
Maestro (2023) Milana Vujkov Offers little more than something akin to a prolonged high-end fashion mag photoshoot, with a perfunctory script included — until its very end, when it decides to become an actual biopic of Leonard Bernstein.
Posted May 22, 2024  Edit critic review
2/5
Scoop (2024) Milana Vujkov [The film] does show a divided society — tainted by injustice, stratified by status, education, presentation, and the potluck of birth. And then, it inexplicably decides to make the pleasures of social mobility its point.
Posted Apr 15, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Anatomy of a Fall (2023) Milana Vujkov A proper postmodern 21st century mystery, ambivalent to its very core, leaving ample space for lingering suspicions and complex afterthoughts.
Posted Apr 12, 2024  Edit critic review
5/5
The Zone of Interest (2023) Milana Vujkov Dedicate a decade of one's life on a conceptual film on the diabolical mechanics of the Holocaust, then craft it to appear as meticulously chilling and banal as its architects. [...] Jonathan Glazer is precisely that kind of courageous artist.

3/5
Nyad (2023) Milana Vujkov An earnest biopic on a fascinating character, played with great complexity by Annette Bening, a force of nature, in her own right, employed in this story to full artistic capacity.

5/5
Quo Vadis, Aida? (2020) Milana Vujkov Whoever lived in the chauvinist squalor that was the 1990s in the Balkans, a time when avenging ghosts and delusional violent men ravaged these lands, knows the truth when they see it. There may be many paths to it [...] But there is only one destination.

4/5
Crazy, Not Insane (2020) Milana Vujkov Dr. Lewis is exceptionally empathetic, at the same time, she is painstakingly, surgically inspecting every facet of the perpetrators’ lives [...] like a true detective would (a parallel she would appreciate), tracing the villain origins of [DID] creation.

3/5
Napoleon (2023) Milana Vujkov Who was it that said history was just one damn thing after another? This is what Sir Ridley Scott's epic [...] feels like when not focused on the electrifying performance of Joaquin Phoenix.

1/5
Dalíland (2022) Milana Vujkov Helmed by an otherwise highly inventive director [...] it turned out to be less than the sum of its parts, lacking a developed script and coherent directorial vision, dragging on to its inevitable demise — drowned in a patchwork of trivia.
Posted Dec 13, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Guardians of the Formula (2023) Milana Vujkov Bjelogrlić treads the perilous tightrope between genre-generated sentiment and genuine emotion, arriving at an incredibly humane, candid story on the moralities of scientific experiment. A truly moving meditation on what courage, at its core, really is.
Posted Dec 05, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
The Eternal Daughter (2022) Milana Vujkov Exasperating, until it becomes heartbreaking [...] it is high-craft filmmaking, but in an indulgent form I found lacking in openness of structure, as it allows too little oxygen for audiences to inhale until its final act.
Posted Nov 20, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Milana Vujkov Conspicuously lacking in any of the usual Hollywood glamourisations of the greed that built an Empire, it is also a study in why films should never be too respectful of any topic beyond the duty to their own art form.
Posted Nov 16, 2023  Edit critic review
2/5
A Haunting in Venice (2023) Milana Vujkov Stunningly cinematically accomplished that it is, this whirlwind spectacle comes out short in the one thing that matters most in a mystery – the story itself. [...] Feels like a hollowed-out pumpkin, minus the candlelight.
Posted Nov 03, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
LOLA (2022) Milana Vujkov Stylish and perfectly-formed cinematic coup, with a genius archival mix of film stock [...] a zany and witty Gen Z fantasy of saving-the-world, while elegantly sipping wine in chichi period clothes, in a fashionably derelict mansion.
Posted Nov 01, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
Stars at Noon (2022) Milana Vujkov Moody, steamy, ambiguous [...] Denis’s latest is not the tour de force her breakthrough film was, yet it is made of the same elusive material, inhabiting a volatile liminal space, oozing sensual honesty.
Posted Sep 30, 2023  Edit critic review
1/5
Navalny (2022) Milana Vujkov [A] missed opportunity for creating compelling testimony about an authentically dire situation.
Posted Apr 18, 2023  Edit critic review
5/5
Tár (2022) Milana Vujkov Examines the corrosive power dynamic underlying the exchange of one's identity for mass attention [...] oblique, and complex, all the subliminal moments cleverly inserted into the texture of the narrative to keep the mythic time ticking, like a metronome.
Posted Apr 09, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
The Whale (2022) Milana Vujkov All the weight of the story (metaphorically and literally) is carried by its tragic protagonist — the ailing Charlie, whom Brendan Fraser portrays with such depth, nuance, and wit. Nothing in the film's text matches this commitment, and that's a problem.
Posted Mar 21, 2023  Edit critic review
2/5
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Milana Vujkov It holds within it a great idea, when one disentangles it from the hairball that is the EEAAO narrative. But [...] in all its originality, it telegraphs its message, instead of allowing this intricately constructed ingenious world to be the message.
Posted Mar 19, 2023  Edit critic review
5/5
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) Milana Vujkov Captures the fragile state of being a human in one grand swoop of wit and weltschmerz — the film’s contours elegantly morose, its humour dark and bitter-sweet, its inhabitants erratic and gloriously eloquent, its landscape a mystery onto itself.
Posted Mar 18, 2023  Edit critic review
2/5
Triangle of Sadness (2022) Milana Vujkov There is a point where all good intentions in a storyline turn to dust, and that is when the said narrative stops respecting its characters, however vile they are.
Posted Mar 11, 2023  Edit critic review
4/5
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022) Milana Vujkov Despite Poitras being a powerful storyteller in her own right, this doc lives and breaths Goldin’s indefatigable spirit. [...] The space Goldin gave to her own subjects, Poitras gives to Goldin.

5/5
Lynch/Oz (2022) Milana Vujkov [Director Alexandre O.] Philippe is turning out to be a virtuoso in translating cinematic sorcery into cultural code, firmly positioned on those ever-so-potent crossroads of zeitgeist and cinema.

3/5
The Pale Blue Eye (2022) Milana Vujkov If it kept its early promise of a macabre deep dive into Poe’s literary universe, via an intricate murder mystery, this would have been an outstanding thriller.
Posted Jan 21, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) Milana Vujkov [A] slightly unhinged piece of classic storytelling — and while it is visually luscious and bursting with (narrative) calories, it did not seem to make up its mind, to its very end, which genre, and indeed audience age-group, it actually belongs to.
Posted Jan 14, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Milana Vujkov A collage of small, clever, lovingly shaped skits struggling to join the narrative stream of a single story. Albeit with some of the best cameos in the business. Inevitably, it ends up riding the coattails of its stellar predecessor.
Posted Jan 13, 2023  Edit critic review
3/5
Moonage Daydream (2022) Milana Vujkov Riveting, ravishing, richly sourced, and far too long [...] stream of consciousness story on an era-defining genius.
Posted Nov 20, 2022  Edit critic review
5/5
Corsage (2022) Milana Vujkov [It has] such a disorientating manner as to never allow the viewer a glimpse into its shift in cognitive gears; ingenious in framing history as an elliptical loop of vanishing hormonal cycles of a seemingly celebrated, essentially dissed renegade queen.
Posted Nov 09, 2022  Edit critic review
4/5
The Princess (2022) Milana Vujkov An exquisite backstage look on how a (media) myth is created. (...) It’s hard to outfox the mass media machine. But this clever and heartfelt doc might just have managed.
Posted Jul 16, 2022  Edit critic review
5/5
Fire of Love (2022) Milana Vujkov A fascinating watch, not only due to its unrivalled archival footage which the doomed lovers (...) accumulated in their many years of cutting edge vulcanology – but because this is a film about the enduring unknowability of the origins of a passion.
