Reviews
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
You won't be disappointed!
Beautiful, moving film.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This is one of the few instances in film history that such a beautiful work was made out of almost nothing. Most people cannot know that the making of this film was a miracle. Even if you hear it from the lips of Koundouros himself, still it seems unbelievable. The majority of films appear so bad so utter failures when you think making something beautiful like this one is so simple even if you start from nothing.
