The Emperor has no clothes
By JCRx (1 review) from Edinburgh , 12 Nov 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
I have not seen the bbfc approved UK cut, which has 4 minutes 12 seconds cut out of it, this is going off the uncut version, which I can say without hyperbole is the worst film I've ever seen.
The first hour is deadly dull, with little happening beyond a simple version of the Alice in Wonderland (or The Matrix) 'going down the rabbit hole' plot line. It is not exciting and the acting is poor.
The final 40 minutes are basically one rape scene after another. There is no connection between you and the characters which basically renders the whole thing meaningless. Also the acting by one character is very over the top, making it ridiculous. At least some parts of it are played for laughs, which just boggles my mind.
I understand the makers of A Serbian Film have claimed it has a political message. Well unless you think 'in Serbia everyone gets raped' is a deep political message then you'll likely disagree. I think it likely the makers are claiming this because if they admitted it's a silly exploitation movie- which it is- no one would find the content acceptable.
I don't think it should be cut or banned, but that's only because the bbfc risk turning it into a The Evil Dead/The Exorcist/A Clockwork Orange style legend in the UK through their actions and this film in no way deserves that. I watched this film because it was the day my father died and I wanted something to indulge my bad mood- and it even failed at that- I wouldn't have touched it otherwise, and I would strongly advise you to avoid it. Can't stop you of course, but it's your funeral.- Was this review helpful to you?

Sickening stuff
By bustings (8 reviews) from England , 03 Feb 2013Oh my god, dont watch this. The content is more disturbing than you could imagine. I wish i knew wha it was about before i rented it. So much for trying to be cultural bywatching foreign films. It's not for me or i would say the majority of people. Im not even going to explain the content. I thought i had a strong stomach, but this went too far- Was this review helpful to you?

Watch at your own risk
By BeegD (5 reviews) , 16 Jan 2013Although this is a very well made film, I found it very sick and disturbing. I still had twisted images in my head many days after watching it. Personally, I do wonder if a film such as this should exist at all and I do wonder what sort of people would enjoy such an experience as sitting through such disturbing images. I sat through the whole movie and kind of wished I hadn't.- Was this review helpful to you?
