It might be shocking to many but the directorial debut of actress Angelina Jolie; In the Land of Blood and Honey has received critical acclaim in the US! 

The movie set during the 1992-95 Balkan war is about a love story between a Serbian policeman and his rape victim has met with sharp criticism among Bosnian Serbs who said that the work was biased and anti-Serb.

The film is slated to be premiered in Serbia and the Serb-populated part of Bosnia in May, and Jolie has said she would like to attend the screening. Authorities have turned down a request by some war veterans' organizations to ban the film.

Jolie, who is a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, has also been exposed to a barrage of criticism from the press and calls for a boycott to show her that she isn't welcomed in the country.

Serbian websites have been flooded with pictures allegedly showing Jolie in pornographic acts before she became a celebrity. The pictures are reportedly accompanied with comments like "once a prostitute - always a prostitute".

Internationally acclaimed Serbian film director Emir Kusturica has declined to comment on Jolie's film, calling her a propagandist not a filmmaker. Now let’s see finally what fate the movie meets!
