Leave your thoughts about Murina.
| Film ThreatSumner ForbesKusijanovic’s feature-length debut is nothing short of revelatory. Murina is the perfect summer film. Beautiful scenery, nuanced performances, and canny filmmaking provide one of the most memorable coming-of-age stories of the 2020s so far. |
| VarietyJessica KiangMurina is rife with symbolism, but it’s a mark of Kusijanović’s command — an astonishing quality for a first-time feature director — that the recurring motifs and metaphors are worn so lightly and feel so organic to the film’s microcosmic universe. |
| The A.V. ClubJordan HoffmanThe look (and sound) of Murina are mesmerizing. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriKusijanović conveys all this through the way her actors move against and look at one another. That’s filmmaking of the highest order — intimate and gripping. |
| Austin ChronicleTrace SauveurLooking at the world around us, this is the perfect summer drama for a society that continually proves itself more and more obsessed with controlling women. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyMurina is a slow burn of a movie, one that doesn’t end in a detonation but with an enigma. Nevertheless, it’s one of the more coherent and satisfying narrative releases of the year. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsWhat the film has is visual authority and an eye for composition. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreKusijanovic has given us a “Lolita” without exploitation, a “Knife in Water” with spear guns, and a disturbing riff on toxic masculinity and rash teenaged impulses simmered in a seaside chowder of sex and gamesmanship, making for a dazzling first feature. |
| The PlaylistMarshall ShafferKusijanović storms out of the gate with a confident coming-of-age tale full of relationships as rocky as the craggy Croatian coast in which the story unfolds. |
| TheWrapSteve PondKusijanovic isn’t interested in tipping her hand as this coming-of-age story turns into one more cinematic journey by a young woman through an inhospitable world. |
