Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Dramatic, angry, cold ocean scene with the waves crashing. We're told right at the beginning that it's 1930. Greek chick "Orsa" loves local dude Spyros, because he's NOT a captain, and therefore he won't be lost at sea as so many others have been. Unfortunately, her mother has other plans. She marries a "Captain", and it's pretty much all sad and mournful from there on out. And to make matters worse, her younger sister "Moscha" ends up marrying Spyros, the guy she wanted to marry. A Jane Austen drama. Anyhoo. BEAUTIFUL outdoor scenery of Greece. Of course, with World War II looming, the men folk all head off to war, and we know that one of the husbands will soon be knocked off.... but which one ? and which secrets will come out? The secrets DO come out and there is bad blood between the sisters. Kind of goes on and on. Bland and bleak. Needed some humor or something to zing it up. Although it DID win a bunch of awards at the various film festivals. Written by Ioanna Karystiani. Directed by Pantelis Voulgaris, who had been working in films since the 1960s. Everything is very well done, its just a very long, serious story. Two hours.

It's surprising that this film only has eight reviews. It is not a perfect film, but it's definitely worth much more attention. It shows the life of the Greek seamen's wives with very beautiful landscapes, costumes and scenes. These aspects showed to be well taken care of. I just wonder what happened to make up, it looked amateur at times. The performances were good in general, some were outstanding. Even though love triangles featuring siblings have been done before (obviously) what the story tells doesn't feel wore out at all and has a lot to offer. It is an outstanding story (it must be a good book). Beautiful and heartbreaking this movie happened to awake a petty feeling in me: the jealousy some characters felt. I'm definitely grateful to a movie that touches me that way. The only thing I feel sorry about is teenagers watching crappy movies like fifty shades of gray while touching and culturally rich movies like this one are criminally ignored.pd: excuse my English

OK, it's Pantelis Boulgaris, but how about the rest of the package? I think that the director should choose a different - more interesting - story/script in order to build his movie.Story is weak and not something we haven't seen before. Acting of main character (Tsilika) is weak. In couple of occasions you may feel that you are watching a play and not a movie. Of course this is not entirely her fault since the script asks her to perform those non-realistic monologues while make-up and photography are just too realistic and doesn't help someone who is not a doctor to understand certain conditions. To be precise at least twice people laughed at the cinema, and both occasions had to do with makeup and photography of her. Part of the story made me feel I had a Deja-Vu with the movie "H timh this agapis" (1984), but without a clear message this time. Anyways, I think that "Mikra Anglia" has a decent story to tell, strong emotions, some good performances (Aneza Papadopoulou, Constantinou) with very good representation of life on a Greek Island on the ww2 era. But it's not a masterpiece, nor something you would like to see a second time.

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!
