Movie Reviews of Mirage

Movie Review: Illusion Through The Eyes of Marko
Summary: 5 Stars

Marko Kovacevic was incredible, adding innuendo to his character's part with the brightness or dullness of eyes, a slight change of facial expression, or merely a change of emotion. Superb acting by this young actor. The movie told the story of a young boy growing up in Macedonia, complete with his country's occupation by American soldiers, a dysfunctional family led by a drunken father, and living in fear of the local gang of boys who beat him up regularly. Marko had a bright talent for writing poetry, and he could feel his creativeness grow and become a road out of his miserable life. But as you watch this bright young mind attempt to crawl out of the everyday brutality of living, you can witness the extinguishing of that brightness as a cigarette being crushed out in an ashtray. Beautiful boy, gripping drama, decently filmed, well worth watching.

Movie Review: Mirage
Summary: 5 Stars

Ritovski's devastating study of a downtrodden youth in contemporary Macedonia offers no comfort for those seeking tidy endings and late-arriving omens of joy. Still, "Mirage" is powerful and riveting on its own terms, bitterly reflecting the realities of life for thousands in a war-torn, impoverished place, as the films of Rossellini and De Sica did half a century ago. Kovacevic's transformation from a sullen, helpless, sensitive boy into a veritable one-teen island of rage and reprisal is terrifying and authentic. This "Mirage" will definitely leave a lasting impression.

Movie Review: Marko and the gun
Summary: 5 Stars

I really liked this movie first I wasn't gonna watch it,but I decided
to give it a chance on youtube and I had to own it on dvd for myself
it shows not everyone is lucky enough to get what they deserve.Marko
gets beaten by bullies the beatings become so out of control that Marko
relizes he needs a gun.this movie enspired me to write a short screenplay.This movie should be in locol stores for everyone.

Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not your usual Hollywood fare but if you are looking for quality East European cinema you can't go much wrong with this. Ultimately its about a kid that is misled into the wrong life path and the ultimate conclusion is chilling to say the least. This is not entertaining; it is rather compelling and should be seen.
