“Emotionality is reframed as a potent weapon, rather than a flaw misogynistically invoked to deem women incapable, in Perpetrator, a smart high-school body horror in which empathy takes on supernatural qualities. ” –

A Stranger (2013)
“[The film] portrays a Mostar so riven that even the most commonplace activities are blighted by disharmony, catastrophe hits frequently without warning and "ordinary people" are near too fed up to go on.” –
