The directing and cinematography are superb, the acting is exceptionally credible, and the subtle humor of the movie reduces the bitterness caused by the situations and interpersonal relationships portrayed in it. The characters are complex, burdened with problems and their inherent contradictions, and yet magnificently shown.

The movie Grlić has made is extremely important because it speaks up about the futility of political, social and general human intolerance and hate, which are becoming deeply rooted in Croatian society, and does that in a clear, comprehensible manner.

Novi List, Croatia

The best Grlić’s movie.

HRT, Croatia

A movie of a powerful plot, masterful directing and brilliant acting (if this was a Hollywood movie, Nebojša Glogovac would instantly become an Academy Award nominee, but hell, that’s a whole different story) which screams for your attention.

Director Rajko Grlić and scriptwriter Ante Tomić have carried out a filigree work to create a sturdy nest of philanthropy, in which they nurture hope that we are not completely and forever steeped in hatred; that eternal gardens of unspoiled sense can be planted in our Balkan backwaters. It is a movie which by far exceeds its artistic mission and turns into the Constitution in its own right. We should feel grateful to all of them who gave birth to this film which we will carry in our hearts forever and which no one can take away from us. They have used their majestic, heroic skills to build a small yet enormous monument to kindness.

Afterwards, director Rajko Grlić, scriptwriter Ante Tomić, producer Ivan Maloča, actors Nebojša Glogovac, Dejan Aćimović and Mladen Hren were greeted with long rounds of applause.

Story, Serbia

With sincerity and courage which do not aim at arousing shock among the audience, this painfully precise and not in the least pretentious movie is a real breath of fresh air in Balkan cinematography. It tackles the issues which have been dealt before, but does it in a brutally realistic and precise manner without caricaturing characters and their ideologies. The Constitution presents the hypocrisy of our present Balkan mentality, the relation between religion and nation, while analyzing interpersonal relationships with great precision, focusing on the "little man" fighting for his existence.
