About
The Staffroom is a drama by Croatian filmmaker Sonja Tarokić, her bold debut feature, starring Marina Redžepović, Stojan Matavulj, Nives Ivanković, Maja Posavec and Sandra Lončarić. Young school counsellor Anamarija begins working at an elementary school in Zagreb, but quickly realises she has her work cut out for her when faced with opposition by colleagues. Called 'Uncut Gems for teachers', the film makes an up-close approach to school labour all too literal. It is a breathless drama exploring duty of care and the clash between idealism and stubbornness, maintaining an uneasy proximity with the characters throughout.

Critics
6.0Good
Critics praise the bold style, lively energy and strong performances, especially the lead and supporting actor. They fault the film's excessive length, sprawling structure and signs of directorial inexperience.
