Mirage Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Marko is clearly a stand-in for an exhausted country, and the symbolism is, at times, oppressively heavy. But Ristovski needs us to feel his nation's torment, and he succeeds.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Drab, despairing and pointless.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Svetozar Ristovski drags the corpse of Billy Elliott through sewer water in his appropriately titled Mirage--the film is so unreal, only a starved and weak-kneed cinesnob will be suckered in by it.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
It's a grim look at the life of one boy in a country that, at least in Mr. Ristovski's view, seems to have nothing but grimness to offer.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
A tense, gripping drama that urges Macedonians to reject the empty platitudes and conflicts of the past for a bold new future vision, and succeeds showing how false hope can indeed be the opiate that keeps people from taking direct action.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Disturbing and powerful.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Ristovski's debut feature is unremittingly grim and powerful.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
It is not often that one is confronted with a cinematic social statement so nihilistic and so devoid of hope -- not merely for an individual, but for the whole world around him.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Though its downward trajectory may be obvious, the script is a marvel of clarity, economy and metaphor.
Village Voice
Peter L'Official
Marko's story is far from novel, but its wicked evocation of hopelessness transcends any familiarities.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
The social situation at the heart of 'Mirage/Iluzija' is so fraught with political implication that the film hits on both levels.
