First let's be clear. The film leans to the political right option, but I somehow expected that from Sedlar.
The film will not change my opinion of Stepinac and Tito, so I can dedicate myself to the performance and the overall impression, which is: VERY GOOD!
This is a film that looks like it was not shot in Croatia! Actors are great. Especially Caspar Phillipson in the role of Tito. The story is interesting (though not completely true-although I don't mind). Dominik Sedlar wrote a script that can be followed from beginning to end without being bored! He paid a lot of attention to Stepinac's Maria Horvat, which is an excellent choice. Those scenes are beautifully directed and very emotional. Although someone will resent that they look like a music video. I will not agree with them!
These scenes have a dramaturgical vindication to be exactly as they are.
After all, these scenes are memories and fantasies!
The Conversation was filmed to look like an American adaptation of an event and that's a big difference to begin with.
To write and direct a film with practically only two characters for 109 minutes, it takes skill and courage!
And finally, the younger Sedlar is an immensely better director than his father.
Well done!
