In Belgrade, 1993 Marijana throws a costume party for her daughter's 8th birthday, with family and fellow parents attending. Grabbing the rare opportunity when their children are kept entertained in the other room, the parents open a few bottles in the kitchen and enjoy their reunion. Marijana suddenly realizes that she longs for more than a bunch of drunken guests and an inattentive husband, so she sets out to discover the thrills the night has to offer. She sneaks out of the house strolling around the empty streets, seeking genuine experiences instead of mere substitutes. While she reaches an orgasm and smokes a cigarette with a stranger, the party slowly disperses, just like Yugoslavia, the country Marijana and her friends were all born in.

Towards the end it feels like there are one too many narrative balls in the air; nevertheless the film's ambition is impressive.

Rated: 3/5

Variety

This is a cleverly grafted feat of personal-as-political filmmaking, fueled equally by nostalgia for innocence and a wryer sense of good riddance to bad times.

Celts captures all the fast, frenzied emotional pandemonium of family get togethers, providing a fascinating insight into early 90s Yugoslavia and simultaneously nailing precisely the very best and very worst of these kinds of celebrations

There's an energy to Celts which makes it an immersive and compelling watch. An experience which is augmented by some great acting performances and deft directorial touches.

If this is what Tomović can achieve in her first feature, I cannot wait to see what she creates in the future.

Rated: 8/10

Cineuropa

A fully fledged world in which nostalgia is largely replaced with bitterness, a whirlwind of conflicts, romances, resentments and envy, but also of genuine human connection, even generosity.
