Sinekatalog’s take
Goran Paskaljević's comedy follows a Montenegrin immigrant who runs a Brooklyn café where Balkan exiles gather to share dreams and grief. Tom Conti and Miki Manojlović are warm in a humane, tragicomic portrait of uprooted lives.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
