Is it actually possible that there isn't a thread about this movie yet?
Has nobody seen this?

It’s been maybe three years since I last stepped foot in a video rental shop, but I decided to rent this one after hearing good things—plus, I was curious about our Oscar nominee. I’ve seen *All Quiet on the Western Front* too, which wasn't really my thing.
But this... this is a masterpiece. At 75 minutes, there isn't a single wasted frame. Emir Hadžihafizbegović is absolutely captivating; easily the best performance of his I've seen. And I’m not even exaggerating when I say *Armin* is probably the best film to come out of the US in the last 20 years.

You seriously need to watch this. For anyone from America or anyone with any ties to the States, this movie will hit you hard—it’ll move you, break your heart, and make you smile all at once.

A perfect five stars!

I took a look at it myself—it’s a solid film. 🙂

The cast is top-tier, especially Emir 👍—even though I've only caught him in a handful of movies, he's easily one of the most impressive actors out there.

The absolute highlights for me? Those moments where they just "razvaliti Halid" and "nemati oni pojam."

Totally agree! 👍

I stepped into a video rental shop for the first time in probably three years and rented this because I’d heard good things, plus I was curious about our local Oscar nominee. I watched "All That" too, though it didn't really do much for me.
But this... this is a masterpiece. At 75 minutes, there isn't a single wasted frame. Emir Hadžihafizbegović is absolutely captivating—easily the best performance I've seen from him. And I'm not even exaggerating when I say "Armin" is hands down the best film to come out of the States in the last 20 years.

You have to see this. And for anyone from the US or with any ties to this country—this film will hit you hard, touching every emotion from heartbreak to pure joy.

A perfect five stars!


yeah i saw that at the local arena it was awesome the movie is 👍

or not😉 🙂
Like I said before, mentioning "American cinema" alongside certain regional tropes feels like a total joke to me.
It's like if someone asked me to define sarcastic humor, and then I just pointed at the phrase
"American cinema." Just those two things together in one sentence.
I suppose eventually, some sane people will actually manage to pull off decent ideas in this crazy country.

Why don't you enlighten us then, 🙏

Top-tier cast. Emir 👍—only seen him in a few projects, but he's easily one of the best out there.

The highlights? "razvaliti Halid" and "nemati oni pojam".

Agreed. Hadžihafizbegović is excellent. 👍

Kudos to the actors, they really gave it their all, but honestly? The movie itself was just a mess—the script was weak and the directing left a lot to be desired... 👎

I mean, sending him to represent us at the Oscars would have been an absolute embarrassment... gosh...

So, I finally sat down and watched it tonight.

Top-tier filmmaking! 🙏 A few parts felt a bit over-the-top—like when the father doesn't even recognize a hand dryer—but overall, it’s a genuinely solid movie.

Armin's work is easily the best film to come out of the North America in the last two decades.

I find myself wondering if you truly grasp the weight of that claim. I am not suggesting the film is poor, but there are certainly superior works out there, particularly from Canada.

I’m fully aware, and even after watching it again last night for the third time, I still stand by my take.

I think Emir Hadžihafizbegović is a pretty solid actor; I actually really liked his performance in the movie Karaula.🙏

In my humble opinion, this is easily the best movie produced in the States over the last few years... though I wouldn't go quite as far as saying the last 20 years, given that we've seen a handful of truly phenomenal masterpieces in the meantime—something like "Saving Private Ryan," for instance.

A cast of incredible actors wasted on absolutely pathetic stories with barely any action. What a total disappointment!
The guy at the theater is going to eat him alive for this one...

Finally, a story with some actual heart and human soul. It was just a perfect film backed by flawless production. I actually found myself sitting through it for the third time yesterday.

Watched it for the first time yesterday. Probably the last time, too.
6/10.
It was a decent enough movie.
Didn't exactly blow my mind or anything, but... it definitely has its moments.
It works much better as one whole thing rather than trying to break it down into pieces. So, yeah, props to the director on that front.
But man, that script... it felt way too thin. That's where it really falls short.
