This is one of the better Greek movies of recent times.
It's not really 'my kind of movie' but it has a quality about it that deserves recognition.
A lot of Greek movies tend not to have a 'beginning, middle and end'... A bit like Greece itself, they seem indefinite and ambiguous. It's OK if one is a fan of relationship/family movies, Greeks do lots of them...or social consciousness movies.
I'm not particularly fond of either genre but I can appreciate quality when I see it.
The actors and performances are credible. There is good continuity and interconnectedness. The script is OK.
It's not an 'entertaining movie'. It's a social awareness movie and I don't really go in for those. But it is good for an audience that goes for that sort of thing. I wish it did have a beginning, middle and end, would make it easier to relate to. It does have an ending, but you have to wait until maybe halfway through to understand where the film is heading. There tend to be too many ambiguities in Greek movies, as in Greek life, I suppose, in that esp. Since 2008/10, Greeks really have no idea where their country is heading/being driven by the EU. So many movies seem to reflect this.
I prefer screen simply for entertainment. Greek screen productions are for me very rarely entertaining... So I try them out just out of curiosity.
I give it 6 for quality. That's being fair, but it doesn't indicate entertainment value. Need to look elsewhere for that.
