I like the movie very much. It's very quiet but full of inner power. Good actors and feels like the real person. It is an super intriguing story and with nice and special scenes. I kept wondering what would be the next, so definitely the opposite of being boring. Speaking of that, I didn't fully get the ending. Checked the internet but couldn't not find an explanation. The ending is a bit too sudden, the light is on and then the end. Are they together? Would love to see it and know it for certain. As family or as lovers? Don't know. I would definitely recommend it. Perhaps someone can even help to interpret the ending?

A very good presentation of Greek society. Cinematography looks beautiful and the actor's are really good! Even it's an extreme story, It felt 100% real.

Most of the actors in the film play in all Greek films. It becomes boring to constantly see the same actors and in fact they almost always play a specific character !!! For the first 20 minutes it was as if I was watching a mix of other movies starring these actors. Aren't there really other talented people?

"The Green Sea," a compelling Greek film, delves into the intricate journey of self-discovery and the elusive nature of happiness. The story revolves around a female protagonist who, in her pursuit of happiness, realizes that she was more content during her quest than when she believed she had found herself. This poignant revelation upon her return underscores the film's exploration of self and satisfaction.

Conversely, the male lead spends much of the film convinced that his happiness lies buried in the past. However, in a fleeting moment of clarity, he discovers that true happiness resides within the present, within oneself. But this realization comes too late, adding a layer of tragic irony to his journey.

At the heart of "The Green Sea" is the theme of searching for happiness. A critical moment occurs when the main character reads a book and comes across a line suggesting that unfulfilled, suppressed desires might someday manifest themselves. This moment encapsulates the film's central thesis: the complexity of understanding where one's happiness truly lies.

"The Green Sea" is a thought-provoking film that beautifully captures the human condition's complexities. It is a narrative that resonates deeply, reminding viewers that the pursuit of happiness is often more about the journey than the destination. This film is a reflective exploration of the paths we take in life, the choices we make, and the unexpected places where we find or lose our sense of joy.
