Sestri

The plot was extremely bleak and, at times, non-sensical. The movie literally had no final premise or ending. The acting was ok, but some of the scenes felt extremely forced.

However, the thing that pisses me off the most is the utter misrepresentation of how people live in Skopje, and I honestly can't understand what's the point of all of that. Maybe the director's delusions seeped into the screenplay... Maybe its a desperate attempt to go fishing for foreign symphaty... or maybe she might've figured out the right formula to showcase a movie on Netflix... Who knows?

Also, the kids I see around town don't have pickup trucks; instead, they're driving their daddy's black BMW and curiously enough, speak a language that is not my own, but they weren't in the movie, were they?

I like the movie because it's something different than other movies from our country, and i like teen dramas anyway. I won't say it's borring, but many unimportant scenes are long, and the important ones are put together too quickly, especially the end it's unfinished according to me.

I liked the movie as a whole and the story is a good one. Actors are great.

There are too many dark scenes and the speaking parts are way too quiet, I barely understood what the characters are saying.

There's a discrepancy in the scenography and the time we live in. It might be compelling visually but kids that go on swimming classes don't live in such homes. If say it is an exception, because yes some people live that way, the scenery is drastic. It feels like the story is set in 1994 just with smartphones and instagram.

The ending feels rushed and incomplete.

First of all, I don't understand why they have to show Skopje as the capital of Macedonia in such a bad light. Maybe 2% of the city is like that.

Second of all somewhere at the middle of the movie I really thought maybe it could be worth the watch, but honestly this movie is trash.

Bad ending.

If I could give it a 0 I would, but unfortunately I can't, that's why I'm giving it a 1 star rating.

I just finished Sisterhood and it won me over. I was thrilled to see a modern and universal story about navigating teenage relationships, coming-of-age, and sexuality told so skillfully. So thank you to Duma for moving beyond the black comedy and yugonostalgia that have plagued Macedonian movies for a while. The directing and the aesthetics are great and the acting was on point!

My warm recommendation for this little gem of a drama!
