Aeneas, a Greek dancer, is struggling with a sense of worthlessness and anxiety. When he is paired with Alex, a visiting Greek-American dancer, for his dance thesis, the two young men find a connection that goes beyond their art. The intoxicating power of physical discovery and a shared love of Hellenic culture and New York City are vividly revealed in a love story played out through music and movement. An intimate tale about the beauty that lies within us all and the transformative power of self-love.

4/5

A lyrical drama about two dancers, this Greek film is infused with body movement that's photographed with a lovely sense of sunlight, bodies and musicality. While the plot is fairly simple, the way the story is told is sensitive and sensual.

As an unabashed and unashamed piece of homoeroticism, this delivers in spades. Just don’t kid yourself that you need to watch it with the sound on.

[Aligned] is all about beauty, from the remarkably attractive lead performers to the postcard-perfect landscapes to the graceful movements of the dance students.
