Summary
A scathing review of the Serbian film "3 Weeks After" directed by Miroslav Terzić, which the critic dismisses as a histrionic, faux-provocative take on teenage violence and bullying. The review compares the film unfavorably to Carrie and describes it as an improvised right-wing polemic that fails to feel authentic, using heavy-handed metaphors about violence in Serbian society.

· 3 pulledA miserable, cynical and histrionic dirge into the lives of contemporary highschoolers who... want nothing more than to murder one another and dance to shitty techno-pop.
3 Weeks After plays like an improvised right-wing polemic on the sorry state of modern youth that never for a moment feels like it exists in an authentic version of reality.
This lazy Serbian riff on Carrie offers a high-styled, faux-provocative take on teenagers' apparent obsession with bullying.
