    Pure nonsense

    There is no justification for the fact that a Frenchman who may die of the heart is deceived by his friends who reinforce his belief that he is the "reincarnation" of a Bosnian soldier. A nonsensical film. Nonsense from beginning to end. Don't waste your time.

    A good first feature

    A good first feature. Adèle shines as always, and the "hero" is also very much believable and moving. Love - death - mourning - friendship are underlying themes of that movie, which remained with me a long time after watching it. I will follow Aude-Lea's career for sure.

    emotional, religious, cultural, saint, magical, funny

    I am satisfied to amazed. As a Bosniak I find this to be good movie about my country, maybe not that good as some others, but for tourists, for French good enough. I could reconnect with various statistics, habits, cuisine, facts, emotions. Meaning, it brings various emotions like nostalgia, sadness, hope... Bit funny, mostly realistic, and magical because this is one of those movies that are more subjective (about characters) rather than objective (about war, money...). Bit unclear ending and reasons, but that is what makes it magical, leaving us with lots of questions, curiosity, inspiration. It reminds us of Bosnian war, but also of our place, culture, religion, and everything. For tourists, good introduction and based on facts. So still amateur, but not empty. Good for Bosniaks and for tourists. Not too deep. All 3 to 4 dialogues with Bosniak or Serb people are funny, and one is epic. So also good comedy and creative. All looks as I would expect from typical Bosniak or Serb.

    Interesting, almost terrible, but works out in the end

    Interesting faux-documentary style to reflect on death and generational ennui. The main issue I have is the character of Joachim, he's the worst. Fortunately, he's not the protagonist, but he got on my nerves... Is he meant to represent his generation? Are we really so narcissistic and naive? Adèle Haenel guides us as much as the characters. She carries a plot that really asks the audience to hold on, until she manages a beautiful monologue before a satisfying climax.

    It's an interesting film to talk about, with seemingly empty scenes carrying a lot of subtext, but I still found it oddly executed.
