Maja K @Slobodan01 2d The Portuguese House tries very hard to feel deep, but never quite becomes meaningful. Silence is mistaken for substance, slowness for depth, and emotional emptiness for complexity. The main character isn’t mysterious or layered — he’s simply passive and frustrating to watch. Nothing truly develops, nothing lands, and the film keeps circling the same vague mood without ever saying anything new. To make matters worse, the film leans on tired Balkan stereotypes, using "Serbs = darkness/trauma" as a lazy narrative shortcut instead of real storytelling. It adds nothing, explains nothing, and only exposes how shallow the approach really is. Arthouse minimalism can be powerful — but only when there’s something underneath. Here, there isn’t. Rating: pretentious, dull, and emotionally hollow. See more Read all reviews
