Novi List August 24, 2004
 

Music in the film (»Fuse«), composed by Sasa Losic, additionaly contributes and insists on that what we sometimes call traditional, national, and sometimes we call it heart and soul. Even the lyrics of the song, which represents quite an anthem of the film, tell us: I am joyeus happy (because of the?) for the sunshine... All that is like a call for the better future. Through anguish and hardness we are adressed to our sentiments and to something that we feel as most intimate. That is the magic of the film, which automatically, without our consent, places us in the core of the story where for two hours we are left to enjoy.«
