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!
I loved this soulful film, set on the beautiful island of Cyprus. It's difficult to write a film that is predominantly dialogue between two characters, but the film is so well written, with such insightful and clever banter between the two quirky leads, that it is an absolute pleasure to watch. I couldn't wait to see how their relationship evolved and how they developed throughout their road trip through the vast landscapes that Cyprus has to offer. The two leads played off each other brilliantly, and I look forward to seeing more from both of them. An amazing film, shot on a tiny budget, but with huge heart! It reminded me that life and love is complicated, but worth the chase!
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.
