Mikra Anglia

Within a general view, this movie is highly above average. Moreover, the last 40-45 minutes of the movie is almost perfect; proper cinematography, aesthetic scenes and succesful tension of psychological portrays.

But, the movie has a rhytm problem. Within different parts of the movie, events happen in different time speeds. In the beginning, years flow rapidly and some major matters happen in seconds or minutes. In middle parts, while rapid flowing continues, a moderate speed starts to determine the scenes. Finally, in last 40-45 minutes, the movie finds its rhytm and every seconds of movie gets more staggering.

Except rhytm problem; it is an awesome drama.

Pantelis Voulgaris in his best so far film. The actors, photography, scrip everything was in tune! I am Just grateful I have watched this film! The aesthetics have a unique character. The cinematography gives of a real character to the film. Every angle is beautiful and truly can me isolated, framed and hung on a wall. Nevertheless it is so humble without exaggerations operates in favor of the storytelling. The characters are very well written and have an amazing depth to a point that become symbols. The actors gave wonderful performances and in many cases we see excellency in acting. After leaving the cinema I felt that I have seen something magnificent. I cannot recall many films giving me such filling!

I watched this movie when it was first released and I didn't find myself in awe, unlike literally everyone else I knew. So, I gave it a second and a third chance, because I didn't want to be unjust. It's definitely an extremely meticulously made film, with exceptional aesthetics and use of sounds. I found the parallelism of people's feelings to the sea's temper astounding. BUT. I have a major issue with the very essence of the film; it's overly dramatic portrayal of a tragic story. I do realize the movie's totally different era, culture and values, but I can't digest easily one's submission -especially without a fight- to an unwanted fate that somebody else imposes on them. Plus, I found the acting to be quite unnatural and over the top, to the point it felt disturbing -especially by Moscha and sometimes by Orsa and their mother. I understand the director's poetic/theatrical point of view, it just felt too much and too dragged for me. However, it is a beautiful movie, absolutely worth watching and reflecting upon.

One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Its what you call a quality film. Exquisite portrayal of the sisterhood. Lust, love, jealousy and passion are shown in the most tearful, humane way.

"Little England" is a Drama - Romance movie in which we watch the lives of two sisters in the Greek island of Andros getting complicated. Their characters are completely different and they have different perspectives about life.

I liked this movie very much because it presents the truth behind some issues of Greece at the beginning of the 20th century and the lives of its people who lived in islands. The plot was very interesting and contained some plot twists that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Pantelis Voulgaris was for one more time exceptional. The interpretations of Andreas Konstantinou who played as Spyros Maltabes, Penelope Tsilika who played as Orsa Saltaferou and Sofia Kokkali who played as Mosha Saltaferou were amazing and their combination made the difference. Finally, I have to say that "Little England" is an amazing movie and I strongly recommend everyone to watch it.
