4 Roses Echo Score Breakdown
Reception of 4 Roses is sharply divided, with a minority of reviewers lauding its energetic soundtrack and occasional strong performances, while the majority denounce its direction, narrative coherence, and acting quality. Positive comments emphasize a refreshing portrayal of Belgrade’s nightlife and a compelling musical selection, whereas negative feedback describes the film as amateurish, meandering, and an overall waste of time. This balance of praise and criticism yields a modest composite rating.
Our own 0–100 rating, built from five aspects: art, character, story, the sensory experience and how well a film rewatches.
- Art & Craft 35
The film's technical craftsmanship is broadly regarded as subpar. Several reviewers criticize amateurish direction, low‑budget production values, and ineffective editing, describing the direction as the worst and cinematography as lacking. A few note that the music selection is a redeeming element. Consequently, the artistic execution scores low.
- Character & Emotion 45
Performances receive mixed evaluations, with a few commendations amid widespread criticism. Positive remarks highlight an all‑star cast delivering a Tarantino‑esque portrait and occasional nice acting, while many reviewers label the acting amateur, stereotypical, and emotionally flat, noting a single facial expression from the lead. Overall, character work lands in the low‑mid range.
- Story & Flow 45
The narrative is perceived as uneven, swinging between originality and incoherence. Praise points to a refreshing take on Belgrade nightlife, intertwining stories, and a clear message about the 1990s, yet numerous critics condemn the plot as meandering, poorly developed, and lacking substance, calling it an empty waste of time. The story thus scores below average.
- Sensory Experience 55
The film’s auditory component, particularly its soundtrack, garners the most consistent approval. Reviewers commend the selection of music, describing it as refreshingly good and a highlight, while visual style and sound design receive limited mention and no strong criticism. This results in a modestly above‑average sensory rating.
- Rewatch Factor 50
Rewatch appeal is divided, with some viewers finding value in repeat viewings. One reviewer explicitly recommends watching the film twice to appreciate its editing, and others label it a must‑see, yet the majority deem it a waste of time unlikely to invite another viewing. The rewatch factor therefore settles around the midpoint.
