Movie Reviews

The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 8/10 by Julia RabanWhat Xenia captures (successfully, repeatedly) is that uncomfortable late teen age, where you're grasping desperately for your childhood and its safe comforts, and also itching to become new, independent, and powerful.
El Financiero - 8/10 by Daniel KrauzeThe reality that the movie portrays is deeper than this bad caricature. [Full review in Spanish]
En Filme - 7/10 by Luis Fernando GalvánThe director makes great use of its locations and a great sense of humor to talk about delicate subjects like the migration situation and the lack of hospitality in modern day Greece. [Full review in Spanish]
Variety - 6/10 by Guy LodgeBrashly uneven and wildly overlong, this comedy of brotherly love and outsider acceptance nonetheless boasts a spirited, audience-pleasing core.
Cine Vértigo - 6/10 by Ernesto DiezmartinezThe drama, comedy, and musical numbers don't mix evenly, and the movie drags for too long. [Full review in Spanish]
User Review - 10/10 by Harry MThe best Greek film that I have seen in ages! Panos Koutras is simply the great film director of his generation. Yiorgos Lanthimos got the Best Foreign Film Oscar nomination for his "Dogtooth," but his formalism lacks any spirit, especially the spirit of a Greek. Koutras has lots of spirit, and then some! "Xenia" is in total sync with contemporary life in Greece.
User Review - 8/10 by Ezra MXenia is a predictable drama of brothers searching for their father. Yet, the characters are charismatic and their plight is absorbing enough to warrant its long running time. Likewise, it is an enlightening journey to contemporary Greece distressed with economic and social issues.
User Review - 8/10 by José Cnemam gledano Grcki film dosega,otsekogas grcite imale slaba kinematografija,ali poslednive godini i Bugarite i Grcite i Turcite se razbudija nekako za film...ovoj film bil na Kanski festival, i ne zgresiv sto go gledav, dosta soliden film. Bravo, sekoja cest!
User Review - 8/10 by Jacob DI saw at the International Film Festival in Chicago. Strangers in their own birthplace, this movie truly enlightens a person as to what a foreign immigrant goes through in Greece. The Albanians and the others as immigrants, even though they were born there are still regarded suspiciously. It was a touching story that weaved immigrant issues, issues of sexuality and love, and paternity issues and family. Eventually to come to terms with what is really important. A movie that is moving in many ways, especially to one that realizes that the world is diverse and within it are complexities that only one person can tell it's story that way it is for them.
User Review - 6/10 by Gregory MGreece's Best Foreign Language Film submission for this year's Academy Award failed to make the recently announced shortlist so therefore it won't be nominated. Its a nice sweet little movie with a couple of appealing performances from its 2 young leads Kostas Nikouli and Nikos Garcia. Worth seeing if unspectacular
