Club sees Rane as being "modeled in many respects after GoodFellas" while "Dragojević's decision to let lost youth tell its own story reinforces the power of his forceful narrative and visual style, as Pinki's nihilistic musings reveal a character for whom hope has never been an option".
The film is likened to GoodFellas in many respects, with Dragojević's approach allowing the young characters to take center stage, showcasing his powerful storytelling and visual techniques, which are further highlighted through Pinki's bleak outlook on life.
