The Waiter

The filmography/photography was the star in this movie. The acting of the two male leads was very good, but the female lead only had two expressions on her face during the entire film:slightly shocked or somewhat afraid. The plot wasn't particularly interesting either and all the characters were 2-dimensional, including The Waiter. I think if we'd learned more about what made him tick, the reasons behind his actions, this would be a much more interesting movie, because as it was it lacked depth.

When you see a movie categorized as "arthouse", its best to stay away, That way, you won't be sorry to have wasted 1-3 hours of your time, watching some meaningless meanderings of people/places/situations, without any real idea of what is going on. Sure, in this "movie", there are some definite things, but what they have to do with each other and why things happen the way the "director" puts them in, is totally unknown.

The arthouse label seems to have been devised in order for piss takers to put nonsense together and to persuade the critics & the public (while chuckling under their breaths), that their movie is a cerebral exploration of %^$£@*{+!><:"{}£$%($£@.

Don't waste your time. Find a real movie to watch.

Director: best get another job, where you actually do something.

Some meaning. That could have been told in 5 minutes. Truly boring empty stills most of the time. Some surreal script does not make a drama movie. Or even a movie. Would have goven 1 star but some of the local shots were fine.

Is it a Greek novie style to purposefully nake movies slow, less talked and totally void of feelings. Like is that the movie "industry" in Greece that makes movies to be always like this. Somehow it is even more ironic that when Hollywood or some other "putside" interest makes Greek topic movies, they are fun, understandable and interesting. And the actors actually act like normal human beings. :-/

Maybe it is not my taste, but it was a waste of time. Almost nothing happens the whole movie. Very predictable. The plot was not that interesting. Except for the main actor that played well, the rest of the actors were just bad.

The waiter - well folks - that was me - waiting through endless twenty second pauses of nothing happening - waiting for somebody to say SOMETHING - waiting for any back story whatsoever - waiting for some explanation of the dynamics of the relationships - waiting to find out why any of these people tolerated each other - or even attracted each other. Waiting to find out what on earth the quarrelling couple in the restaurant had to do with anything - or why there was a long lingering shot of the male towards the end.

Waiting to find out why this film was ever made.

It had nothing to say and the end was totally predictable. I am sorry for the people who paid good money to view this in a cinema.
