Reviews
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
videorama-759-859391 Though not mistaking this for that George C Scott/Paul Schrader film, this is the ultimate in eye candy eroticism, and shock, for two young pros, and their hustler boyfriends trying to make it, outside of what is hooking, but you know what's like. This is a well made foreign SBS type film, hot Greek Style, where we jump straight into this uncompromising film about hooking and drug taking, plus a little bit of blood. We have another much younger girl, can't more than 16, who joins them, her naivety, painfully patent, one scene involving been broken, is pushing the envelope stuff, but this is what the movie does, where you feed off that vibe. Addictive eye candy shock flick, emphasize erotic, Tsavalou, a hot Greek revelation of a beauty.
punishmentpark 'Hardcore' is rarely straightforward about its protagonists, Martha and Nadia. They are two young hookers and they like what they do - to an extent. Especially Nadia is bent on finding a better and easier life for herself, while trying to string Martha along. The two girls are part of a prostitution company, which labels its customers with a range of coloured post-its; purple means the biggest pay.The film is at times dreamy and weirdly upbeat about the prostitutes' lives (with a cynical undertone that does not work as well as it may have been intended), a little too much perhaps, but for a long time it works pretty well. Unfortunately, near the end things get too repetitive and boring, not helped by a rather bland and unsurprising soundtrack. The acting is reasonable enough, but on the whole, it all really lacks the impact it pretends to have.5 out of 10.
Nepenth3 Realism at all costs..straight to your face, issues that usually cause revolt to lots of us, displayed in the most realistic way it could be..without being too provocative although that some scenes are way to the edge for commercial purposes (accordin' to my opinion of course).Suitable soundtrack , good photography , Excellent performance by those two young actresses and finally a magnificent directing by Dennis Iliades...in other words a really good movie,However with a really "sad or even disturbing" concept. Blood? sex? violence? or just the way that things work?? All those compose a film drowned in "decadance" but honest and true at the same time... Anyway i would recommend this "new era of Greek cinema" film to those who could use a bit of a shock..or even a 90 minute lasting stimulation of the brain.. Love it or hate it!
pasakor Fun and games it's not, a great movie it is. It's masterfully directed it oozes creativity, it's touching and hard at the same time, it hasn't got a boring moment, it was snubbed by critics, it's in one word brilliant. Dennis Iliadis paints a picture of wasted youth but the movie is much more than a cautionary tale. It is a film about longing, about the need to feel at home, the need of a family. The movie's young protagonists may seem as lost cases to some, but they are no different than you and me. They may sell their bodies they may kill for fun and money, but, hey, we all do what we have to do... Try to see this movie. it's worth your admission money(and then some)!
