| El Pais (Spain)Javier OcañaThe Serbian filmmaker returns to his wandering bands of music and explosions of animality, of lyrical violence and dark humor, to his goats and wars, to marriages of convenience, to his cinema. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Cinemanía (Spain)Carlos MarañónBalkan, resentful and happy, Kusturica returns with more love than hatred. [Full review in Spanish] |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA flawed, indulgent but impressive picture along very familiar lines - another wildly boozy knees-up with splashes of magic realism and tragedy, here garnished with CGI. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangThe film's real failure, that the smokescreen of busyness cannot conceal, is its utter vacuity. |
| User ReviewValentin sUn dramma? Una commedia? Difficile catalogare questo lavoro di Kusturica che alterna comicità a violenza, sogno a tragedia. Una mistione di idee e immagini confusa e grottesca, ma anche lenta e affannosa, a tratti irritante. Sembra voler criticare la cupidigia efferata dell'uomo contrapposta ad una natura buona seppur imperscrutabile, a conti fatti però è difficile trovare il senso, artistico e metaforico, di "On the milky road". |
