Brutal yet lyrical film.
If it's not an entirely wholesome portrait of the immigrant experience, it's certainly an entertaining one.
Gratuitous, yes, but Giannaris has the visual finesse to make it work.
Underdeveloped and badly diluted by overlong -- and overly stylized -- forays into the drug use, street hustling and cultural alienation that mostly affects the boys' friends.
An impressive work that's ultimately undone by its excessive style.
The viewer, though unavoidably alert, is before long too numb to care.
Feels like a Greek version of "My Own Private Idaho."
