Overtrying doesn't always help
1 September 2021
I'm not quite sure what to write about this one since I didn't like it, but I see there are people who really liked it and that's how it always is of course. From my point of view, the weak points of the movie are: the language (which is in English in order to be more accessible to the international audience, but it sounds weird and unreal for the actors who play and for the story itself), the (conventional) choice of some actors that either acted too much or they didn't fit for the role given, and the collaboration of script and direction that didn't emphasize or highlight the true actions of the protagonist Saint Nectarios. The narration visually felt a bit flat while there was a lot of talking.

On the other hand, the atmosphere created, the costumes, makeup and some actors with the protagonist among them, were the real deal. Also, the messages of Saint Nectarios can be heard and seen in the movie, so it makes it automatically interesting and moving.

*It would be very pleasant to see at last some new actors in Greek movies and not always the same big "stars" who take over roles in every movie that is produced here in Greece.
