A Disappointing Continuation
FirstWitch
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Was curious to watch the finished film, came away impressed. The script carried the story well, while the cinematography made me fall in love with Cyprus all over again. Made me realise how much undiscovered Cyprus there is out there. Considering the small cast, my attention was kept from scene to scene. I left the cinema thinking how movies with such charm and simple beauty are rare to find amongst todays franchises. Each actor brought their own spark to the screen. Loved the soundtrack which i wouldn't mind buying, the theme tune is still in my head and i still sing it randomly. Overall, a must see! Looking forward to more films by this young director.

Committed is a great movie, catering for all opinions on life and love. It has quality laughs, genuine heart felt moments and an ending which is a real thought provoker. A perfect way to spend 90 minutes! Now that I have said all that I want to say, I have to waffle on for 7 more lines, without giving away any spoilers of the movie. Maybe it would be easier for me to check the "spoiler alert" box and give a quick plot summary. Surely, if I want to leave a review that just says "brilliant", as the movie was, I should be able to do so. Why is it that important that I waste people's time with information that is not relevant to the topic. If you have read this far, I apologise and solely blame the IMDb review protocol. But thank you for your patience!

When I settled in to watch this small movie from Cyprus, I wasn't expecting to see something that would impress and move me so much. The images were beautiful with world-class photography and while I was convinced this would be a cliché romantic comedy, the ending completely surprised me. The storyline was so original, in fact I don't think I've ever seen something similar and the locations were fresh and new as we haven't really seen the island of Cyprus on this scale before. I also loved the leading actors - Orestes Sophocleous who I know from his amazing theater background and the mesmerizing Melia Kreiling. I found I could really relate to what they were going through...this movie is great for anyone who has ever been in love or ever questioned it.

I saw this at the San Francisco Greek Film Festival. Without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, I'd say that this film has a touching and memorable storyline. I truly was surprised. One of the most interesting aspects of the film seems to be the result of a tight budget (mostly due to economic crisis and perhaps the youth of the director). There are basically two characters; the rest of the film is mostly scenery -- as varied as can be found in the Mediterranean on the island of Cyprus. That is, coastline, beautiful pines, open arid spaces -- and a car. With a film done this sparely everything depends on a good story and also the capability of the actors. I liked both, and especially remarked on the female lead. But it became about the importance of honor, raised questions about what a real man is, and where we find the truth about what's essential. An affirmation of what is good, in my opinion. See it if only for the amazing job with such a budget. Shakespeare, too, was staged in early times with a kind of bare bones approach compared to today's cinema, so were the early Greek plays. Quality shows through. I won't spoil the story...but it's very engaging and also a mystery, with plot twists and pathos in the end.
