4/10
With the worldwide buzz garnered (for better or for worse) by A Serbian Film, it's not much of a surprise that other Serbian films would try to one-up it, or at least hop on the bandwagon. And why not - billing a film as another "shocker from Serbia" is an easy way for festivals to sell tickets. Maja Milos' Clip dispenses with the blood and gore and focuses on sex and nudity - namely full-frontal, explicit nudity amongst barely-legal teenagers. Given Clip centers on one girl and her three friends (mostly centering on them having sex and doing drugs) and the fact that it's directed by a woman, it's easy to paint this as the female version of Larry Clark's Kids...but that was 15 years ago, when it seemed fresh and dangerous. Now it seems trite and obnoxious, existing purely to shock and failing at everything else.
