FACTS:

**** - “’You Carry Me’ is skilfully directed, with scenes with sometimes up to twenty characters, and with the movie's visuals looking great, the film offers some scenes you've never seen before. I was captivated with its sheer intellectual power and extremely current, universal theme and masterful performances. It combines undeniable authenticity and almost experimental originality with a very attractive, but unyielding dramaturgy.
‘Ivona Juka’s’ film spins a web of stories whose common denominator is the fight for survival, forgiveness, and new opportunities.157 minutes of you know what? Pure cinematic perfection!”. – NEW FILM DIRECTORS

“An emotionally absorbing ensemble drama…’You Carry Me’ feels like a Balkan cousin of ‘Crash’ and ‘21 grams’” – THE HOLLYWOODREPORTER
