I was not expecting this kind of movie from Serbia. It is very modern and with serious plot. Often light comedies are produced in this country but this one was intense and working with many layers. Andeverything is about the acting in this one. Shot hand-held, like a documentary and with jump cuts. Its a story about Nele coming home to Serbia after being gone in 12 years just to get married and finding all his old friends very depressing and not doing so much. This one is really all about the actors who really did a great job and felt very real not like a cabaret that Balkan movies often are. Nada Sargin is really good as Sale, a girl stuck in old memories

tihomirxxx14 October 2009To fully appreciate this movie, you need to be at least 35+. If, by any chance, you survived painful parting from youth, family, friends, carefree life, turmoils of civil war in Yugoslavia -you'll love this movie. It's about lovers and friends 12years after-their shattered dreams, well-kept longings, friendship and guilt over death of their best friend. The lead character flees the country, starts a new life in Canada and returns home in hope to recapture what he once had, only to find out that nothing is the same and he has nothing- except love of his best friends. He has "loves me/loves me not" doubts, he will try to put his life in order by a shotgun loveless wedding, change his mind and leave his bride on the altar, he'll try to recreate the happy times with his friends...but nothing is the same and they all have to move on... A tender, touching look back on one's fleeing youth. I highly recommend this movie.

branislavdjuric16 December 2023As someone who was lived in Serbia and also on the American continent, i can assure you that everything portrayed in this movie is also happening in real life.
You come after some time and find out that everyone is living the same life, good or bad, as they were living before you left..
Everyone has the same old habits and everyone is still adicted to whatever they are as portrayed in the movie.
The characters are very well built with a deep meaning. The father making jokes about his son, the graynes during the winter in easter europe. Friends still living like they are 20 and not 30+ Sale still being in love even after 12 years and Nele not finding happines in a foreign country is something that is very well screened in this hand held low budget movie ! -
Quasi-intellectual movie about post war Serbian youth 10 years after the war. Boring as hell, no story involved, depressive without any obvious reason, dull, and in a way overflowed with grayness. The characters are either drinking, getting high or crying about this or that. Always throughout the movie, even when having sex. As Serbian their age, lived through whatever the hell they did, i would have to say that there is absolutely nothing so black and heavy. They just look as a bunch of alcoholic wining wusses listening to some crappy 20 year old ex-Yugoslav Rock'n'roll. Only bright spots are Jelena Djokic, Ljubomir Bandovic and Lazar Ristovski. Awards or not, don't watch this movie even under death threat. I just lost 2 hrs of life...

dragokin25 October 2013Tomorrow Morning (Sutra ujutru) was filmed at a time when it's been fashionable to portray Serbia as a land of unhappy individuals living among shabby skyscrapers. This movie happens in one of those projects, as such neighborhoods would be called in the US.
It is true that Serbia and other countries formed through the downfall of Yugoslavia suffered during the last decade of the twentieth century. It is also true that the a lot of people got disillusioned after reestablishment of democracy. But it is hard to believe that there is someone actually living as the main protagonists of this movie.
We saw a bunch of immature individuals in their thirties who ease the pain of cruel reality by drinking and substance abuse. They act as if they were unleashed teenagers yet somehow manage to sustain a lifestyle of relentless self-destructive partying.
At times it seems some scenes were reenactment of situations the authors encountered or wished they had encountered during nightclubbing on cheap alcohol. The overall result was unfortunately not very potent, although the intention has presumably been to offer some kind of bleak vision.
The main character has been numb almost the whole time. On the one hand it is clear that he is partially in shock from seeing his hometown and homeland after more than a decade of absence. On the other hand, it is difficult to understand why he regresses to the level of his old friends...
