| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Okay...but just OK |
| This wasn't a movie that I loved. Alex Dimitriades, as Ari, is sexy and he's got some acting chops. By the end of the movie, I was completely in line with his father in wanting him to get a job and stop being so pathetic. His whining and self-indulgent behavior was so typical of many people who still live at home and claim they have no freedom. I think that's why the character becomes so pitiable at the end because he doesn't realize that part of his misery is self-induced and has nothing to do with oppressive parents, his emerging sexuality, or racism, of which he readily takes part in when it comes to other nationalities. It's because he doesn't know what life is or how to live it. He's mad at everyone but the person he should be furious with--himself. Don't expect a feel good ending either because you won't get one.
What I liked about the movie was the portrayal of the Greek immigrants and their traditions; it was the most interesting thing about the movie. I also liked how the director refused to have Ari banging every hot guy in Australia. He doesn't even seem to know his own worth sexually; we all know he could score major hotties but HE doesn't seem to know that. How anyone could think any of the sex scenes (if you could call them that) are erotic is beyond me. The movie, to me, seemed unfinished and not because it didn't have a happy ending. I just felt there was something missing. You're left feeling as adrift as Ari does. But maybe that's the point. It's worth renting but I doubt it'll be a movie you love. |
