Vera (2023)
8/10
Definitely worth watching
28 November 2023
This series may not be the pinnacle of Serbian cinematography, but it is certainly decent. The storyline is intriguing - concept perhaps stronger than its execution, but definitely worth watching.

The fate of women in the Balkans is inherently tragic, and during periods of war and turmoil, it becomes even more poignant. This series adeptly captures and portrays this harsh reality.

Petar Zekavica delivers a masterful performance as the cold German officer. His attractiveness and charisma make him an outstanding choice for the role.

Regarding Jovana Stojiljkovic, I have mixed feelings. Although there isn't enough variability in her expressiveness, she brings depth and emotion to her roles, effectively portraying women's suffering. In a way, it seems like she consistently portrays the same character. But you ... believe her. Despite playing in a similar vein across projects, she maintains authenticity.

Viktor Savic pleasantly exceeded my expectations. Initially, I doubted his acting abilities, but he infused the screen with warmth and authenticity.

On the other hand, Zlatija Ocokoljic is an unfortunate choice for the "femme fatale" role. Her face and artistic expression don't align well with the demands of such a character.
