The New Yorker
The specifics of The 'Other Side of Everything' far overleap the facts of regional politics; the movie is, in effect, a film of political philosophy, not only in Srbijanka?s trenchant, stirring, and tragic observations, but in its ever-relevant observation of the endemic reactionary counterweight to political progress: populist ethnocentrism and nationalism.
Variety
Mila?s film honors Srbijanka?s legacy of activism and brings her spirit of honor and responsibility to a new generation and a wider audience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Accessible, informative and wryly humorous, the film uses Srbijanka's tastefully decorated residence as a prism through which to view the woman, her turbulent times and the complicated history of the former Yugoslavia.
The Guardian
The intimidatingly dense discussion of Serbian politics here is possibly off-putting if you don?t come with an interest.
