T M @RT55749265 Jun 6 A powerful film about man's inhumanity to man. I do not know a great deal about the Bosnian war. After watching this film I'm not sure I want to go there again. See more Steve M @RT26259659 04/15/2025 One of the most disturbing dramatisations of war you are likely to come across. It tells the story of Aida Selmanagić, a Serbian UN translator caught up in the massacre of Srebrenica massacre. It is an utterly, relentlessly harrowing account of the treatment of civilians and the impotence of the United Nations, an organisation that utterly failed those whom it was sent in to protect. A no holds barred account, taken from a civilian woman whose only crime was trying to protect her husband and sons. Only 50 years after the end of World War 2, the world witnessed a second Holocaust. And did nothing. It is incomprehensible to imagine what humans can do to other humans. If history teaches us anything, it is that we never learn. "Quo Vadis, Aida?" is very upsetting but I urge you to watch it. See more Elver C @RT14102544 09/14/2024 Moving, human, hard to watch but overall very bold, "Quo Vadis, Aida?" not only serves as a historical document of one of the darkest chapters in recent European history but also as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in dark times that seems to speak to our times more than anything. One of the best international films of the 2020s. See more Emma T @Emstar 06/26/2024 One of the best movies I have seen. Utterly engaging and puts you right in the middle of Aida trying to save her family. I'll never forget this movie. See more Kevin M @RT15646362 06/18/2024 Incredibly tense and stirring film about the 1995 Srebrenica massacre during the Bosnian War. You are right there with Aida as she desperately tries to save her family from the Serbian soldiers. Jasna Đuričić is brilliant as Aida. Why wasn’t she nominated for Best Actress? I have a soft spot for films about the Bosnian War, having lived there, known people that lived through it, heard the disdain they have for the toothless UN whose “peacekeepers” they watched stand by as atrocities took place right in front of them. Gets my pick for Best International Feature Film of 2021. See more Genti M @RT75068816 11/26/2022 There's no real flaw here. A deeply touching and realistically disturbing true story. Having lived most of my life in Eastern Europe, I understand this particular pain more so than others. Kind of difficult to stop thinking about this film even after some time.
