New review for Things Unsaid from Filmoskopija

Pavla Banjac from Filmoskopija wrote:
“THINGS UNSAID really suffers from extensive exposition, but the carefully composed shots and certain directorial means (eg. the development of Ana and Fillip’s relationship through their marital bed, or the minimalistic and purposeful use of music) demonstrate that this is a technically very skilled film that’s worthy of attention.”
