Grbavica increases in power as it progresses. It's a movie about the ways in which people yearn for healing and about the many obstacles that work to prevent it.

Like its music, the film's emotions proceed from lament to screaming screed to chorus of hope.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

While Grbavica concerns a legacy of hatred, it's also optimistic about Bosnia's physical and emotional reconstruction. If the film's final image doesn't move you, you'd better check your pulse.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Fresh
The portrayal of a wounded society is compelling, and the film ends on a very modestly hopeful note, appropriate for a country where the 'dreams' have been mostly painful.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

The admirable feminist agenda occasionally trips up the narrative, but the film's performances keep it on track.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
