- 90The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisEngrossing despite its daunting scope and tangled politics, The Other Side of Everything offers an uncommon opportunity to view the shifting borders and identities of an entire region through the eyes of the Eastern European intellectuals caught in the turmoil.
- 90The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe New YorkerRichard BrodyThe specifics of The Other Side of Everything far overleap the facts of regional politics; the movie is, in effect, a film of political philosophy, not only in Srbijanka’s trenchant, stirring, and tragic observations, but in its ever-relevant observation of the endemic reactionary counterweight to political progress: populist ethnocentrism and nationalism.
- 80VarietyAlissa SimonVarietyAlissa SimonMila’s film honors Srbijanka’s legacy of activism and brings her spirit of honor and responsibility to a new generation and a wider audience.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungThe Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungAccessible, informative and wryly humorous, the film uses Srbijanka's tastefully decorated residence as a prism through which to view the woman, her turbulent times and the complicated history of the former Yugoslavia.
