	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It’s still a distinctive achievement, and the director’s visual sense is tremendous (...) [Kusturica] has great screen presence (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"[Some] profligate imaginings make sense only in the director’s head (...) Location work is the main payoff here, with genuinely arresting landscape shots"	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"'On the Milky Road' feels fusty, like a granny’s parlor, where the actual heirlooms are so inextricably jumbled up amongst the kitschy porcelain shepherdesses and carriage clocks, it all just looks like junk."	NEG
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Too much is not enough (...) A tonally haphazard, occasionally tiresome romantic extravaganza (...) Bellucci copes admirably well"	NEU
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"This under-scripted romance, with its abrupt shifts of tone from slapstick to serious, comes across as a loud, frantic two-hour Balkan vanity project."	NEG
