„In a strong local setting and in highly unusual and original scenes, the filmmaker draws complex, stubborn and idiosyncratic characters. They are the modern heroines of three stories reflecting father-daughter relationships in very different social settings. Against all dramaturgical principals, the filmmaker unfolds the stories in a quiet yet convincing way to interweave them finally to something way bigger than the sum of all parts: LIFE as something huge.“ LET'S CEE Film Festival Jury

“Juka juggles a large cast and multiple plotlines with a deft touch, never overplaying the melodrama card even as the lives of her characters increasingly come to mirror the overwrought TV soap that binds them together. Punctuated with poetic, dreamlike imagery, with stones and tunnels serving as visual motifs, each chapter has room for its own historical and psychological hinterland.” Stephen Dalton in HollywoodReporter.com

„If the celluloid tape would still exist, it would surely snap by its poweful, ripping emotions. This movie is without a single corny scene or false consolation.“ Miljenko Jergović in Jutarnji list

„European by vocation, local by character, with great actors of different nationalities this great two-and-a-half hours story never creates the desire to look at the clock. With a handful of art rarely seen in film-debut, Juka’s film manages to bring the Man and not the Citizen, Story and not the History on regional cinema canvas.“ Krešimir Bobaš on Ziher.hr

„Skilfully directed, with scenes with sometimes up to twenty characters,this film looks great and offers some scenes you've never seen before.“ Nenad Polimac in Jutarnji.hr

„A full-blooded, courageous and flabbergasting cinematic work, which captivates us by the intellectual power, extremely current, universal local theme and master performance, combines the undeniable authenticity and almost experimental originality with a very attractive, but unyielding dramaturgy.“ Vesna Pažin in H-alter.org
