Don't get me wrong, this movie is filled with action but not in the classic sense. It's a bit slow moving but it certainly got me hooked from the beginning. It's about a family who's struggling to make ends meet after war. It's also a film about women who try to help eachother. The men in the film is stuck in there ways but if you look closely there are rays of hope shining through. I gave it an 8 but as a debut this is a sensation. If you're into films with Segal or Van Damme Don't watch this.

A really good movie, not for action fans
Such A Balkan Drama
Hive is a dramatic indication of Balkan Women who struggle from poverty. Albainan director took his Sundance Jury Prize with this such a beautiful story and told a story about semi-closed balkan countries' daily dramatic life to people. Also the film now is showed on 11. EU Human Rights Film Days in Turkey. For people whom may watch this film shouldn't miss to understand what's going on their cultutral neighbours.
Defeating patriarchy with entrepreneurship
Important (true) story of the painful aknowledgement of a husband lost to an unjust war and an equally painful struggle to be respected and allowed to work (being a woman) for the sake of one's family. Well played and well directed, not sure though why this film won the Sundance Festival as best international film.
