Just really captivating. You could experience all the feelings along with the actors and the main character "eftyhia" was portrayed magnificently. A great film for the Greek music.

Deeply inspired by her loneliness, wrote some of the most iconic Greek songs of the 50s-70s. Heart breaking, depressing, yet still charismatic.

Really nice movie. Especially if you know the history of Greek music.

It's an amazing and touching movie about a woman that has written history in the greek music industry and for a human that had a really difficult life but at the same time was absolutely free.

A great film that everyone must see, It's a big lesson to appreciate the life and the beloved people...!!!!

It was an amazing film ! you must have to watch the movie!

Such a great movie. All the actors were magnificent as well was the direction. The plot made us feel every moment like as if we were there. I truely believe that everyone must see this movie

First of all Karabeti was awful. Goulioni was perfect. Goulioni's Eftixia was a strong woman with a strong opinion. Karabeti was the exact opposite. It was like they were 2 different people.They should continue with Goulioni. I felt that a lot of her story was missing and at the end I felt that the movie was incomplete. I was expecting more.

The acting the feeling everything.... Pure perfection. Please don't miss it.

This movie has it all; nice photography, adequate directing, good acting and nice soundtrack, except from the script. If you are not familiar either with the protagonist or with her songs, this movie doesn't concern you. In an effort to portray the main character and her life as close to reality as possible, it would have been better to make a docu-style mini series. If you want to have the audience's interest you have to make them sympathize with the hero of the story. This film doesn't get there. Instead of approaching the story from an anthropocentric point of view, it does so from a reporting one. It gathers all the main events of the hero's life and links them uncohesively. The end result is pleasant aesthetically but uninteresting story-wise.

This movie is just ..... i don't have words you have to see it BRAVO to us BREAVO to hellas .

Mediocre and at times cringeworthy this movie has alot of editing and pacing issues. The performances are overall decent but some scenes are extremely overacted. The songs are excellent ofcourse but it's a shame they couldn't implement them in the story and they made up the 'award' section. It's worth a watch on tv but nothing more.

Biopics are a double edged sword.If you see beneath the facts and the events and want to make a film about the essence and the timeless message of a character you have a great film in your hands.Sadly this film desires to get the laughs and the cries from the Wikipedia page of the main character with nonstop time jumps and supporting characters that you can't really see their development except from the make up.I think that corporate demands shorten the film's runtime (A whole life in 2 hours??!?!??!?) which has something to say but runs out of time (in every period of the writer's life)

What to wrote about this marvelous film...

Eftyhia Papagiannopoulou is the A-Z of the entire Greek music/songs HISTORY! This woman wrote almost ALL the GREATEST super songs that A LOT GENERATION of Greeks grown up with them!

We're talking about the HISTORY of Greek music! Every great song you know and you listening, dancing and singing is from her.

A woman, who was born in an old men's world (in Asia Minor), who got married very young... but, she left all her behind and LIVED HER LIFE EXACTLY AS SHE LIKED IT! TOTALY FREE! Seriously, this great woman lived 1000 lives of ours; I wish we could live 10% as she did.

The film is AMAZING. Very dramatic, very emotional, has a lot of her MAJOR success (songs), the script is beautiful, the direction is great, the screen-play IS AMAZING, the dialogues are INCREDIBLE... ...its a MASTERPIECE!

Seriously, one of the BEST Greek films ever created!

"Eftyhia" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we follow the life of Eftyhia Papagianopoulou, an important and one of the best songwriters of Greece. We follow her from her early life to her big success and also her social life during the same period.

I liked this movie very much because it is based on the life of one of the greatest songwriters of Greece. It has also a very interesting plot and story that is easy to follow and also presents some big truths about Greece. The direction which was made by Angelos Frantzis is simply exceptional and he presented very well the life story of Eftyhia Papagianopoulou with the ups and downs of her. Regarding the interpretations of both Karyofyllia Karabeti who played as Eftyhia Papagianopoulou (Older) and Katia Goulioni who played as Eftyhia Papagianopoulou (Younger), I have to say that they were both simply amazing. Other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Thanos Tokakis' who played as Loukas, Pigmalion Dadakaridis' who played as Giorgos Papagiannopoulos and Dina Mihailidou's who played as Marioga. In conclusion, I have to say that "Eftyhia" is an amazing movie and I believe that it's one of the best greek movies therefor, I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

Difficult review. Eftihia's life story was incredibly compelling on its own, so you really really had to try to mess it up... and sadly they did in a few ways. But first the good stuff.

Like I said, the story is captivating. A violently free, clearly flawed, passionate, smart, unyielding creature, with her life flooding with both trauma and moments of happiness, that poured all she had and was into her lyrics. Turning her back on social norms and pretention, she was an icon of authenticity. Her songs were anything from dark poetry to carpe diem nuances. So it's a story worth telling, for sure.

Photography was beautiful, and there a couple of scenes that are outstanding. And you might also get a couple of big and sudden laughter bursts. However.

The cast for me was hit and miss. The hits; Young Eftihia (LOVED that gal), her husband, the daughters. Heavy miss; Older Eftihia (as another reviewer said, like I was watching another character), her mother, almost the entirety of the rest. Lucas I loved as a relationship, but most of the caricature-gay jokes were super cringe. Yes, era context, but still.

However, the biggest letdown of the movie was the script and the editing. The script was quite bad, I felt it was written by someone who imagines what people talk like (Idk, maybe they adapted the theatrical script?). This script combined with extremely basic, almost non-caring editing, makes some of the film's should-have-been-wrecking moments feel forced and unearned. And I'm so so so very sad, because the potential was right there.

I'm giving it an 8 because I'm Greek, and yet I was unaware of the magnitude of her career. Like, 80% of the songs that I grew up with were hers. Songs about love and life, but also death, pain, and even existential dread and human vulnerability. Hence, I succumb to my respect for the person herself, and her legacy, both musically and as related to gender norm breaking. Otherwise the movie stands on a solid 6.

The true story of a Greek woman who lived an adventurous life after the Great War and the Greek-Turkish conflict.

Really astonishing performance by Kariofyllia Karabeti who plays the old Eftichia. Other remarkable performances by Pygmalion Dadakarides and Katerina Gulioti at the role of Papagiannopooulou's second husband and young Eftichia, respectively.

The film give a convincing sight on Greece's social life during the years after World War two and the Civil War which started in 1946 and ended in lat August 1949,with the total defeat of the communist rebels ,named "Greek Republican Army",GRA.

It's a good movie (my initial rating was 6 but I believe I was wrong) but does not deserve the hype it gets. Most actings are bad, with some bright exceptions. I really liked the costumes, make up and the whole "vibe" of the movie.

A must see Greek movie.

Just amazing film , all the feelings in one fabulous film!

The actors are great !

Love , cry , singing all together.

I strongly recommend it.

As I was watching the movie I was really thriller by the the young Eutixia,the way she talks and moves is so captivating!!Apart from her nothing is bad nothing is exciting either.Is just another mediocre Greek movie.As I love Greek cinema and know the story I was hoping in something better!!is pity such a good story went wasted!!

It's curious the director chose such an amateurish platform for story telling as this weird and out of place award ceremony. There were moments I thought I was watching theatre instead of a film especially during the last half hour. I also found hard to understand the passing of decades. What happened to the German occupation of Athens? It really felt more of a drama documentary with the director's view absent and an erratic script regarding the plot, but with some good dialogues thrown in. Kudos to the performances of the two protagonists and the songs which didn't find the place they deserved.

Awful plot. Bad movie! Don't spend your time! There are much better greek movies. only the beginning is satisfactory. Please don't watch it!!!
