Green Sea

Loved this film - it is a slice of life far from glossy romantic comedies. The characters are complex and interesting and the plot is curiously realistic even if the premise is odd. I could almost the food, the raki and the cigarettes.

The setting is perfect - the Greece not shown in tourist brochures or on Instagram. I feel I know this place - even the taverna - and the people, with all their quirks.

The two negative reviews say more about the reviewers than the film (the critic of Greece is breathtaking in its arrogance and ignorance and tells you nothing about the film).

Definitely worth watching (though perhaps not if you only like action movies, thrillers or romcoms).

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?

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 great movie.

A beautiful story, excellent implementation.

Very strong characters.

The director created the ideal micro world for a miserable but sincere world. A crystal clear narrate of a world between flotsam and jetsam. The fatigue of working, achieving, hunting a dream and on the contrary the satisfaction of what we really are. The loneliness of a long distance runner and the isolation of success against solidarity and human relationships.

There is also some splendid acting. Both leading actors bring to life two solid characters. The rest of cast is also very good.

It's definitely not a Holywood movie, with fast paced plot and plot twists. This is pure art given straight forward.

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.
