Los Angeles Times

In definite need of a sea breeze to cool off its overheated characters, the Greek melodrama Blackmail Boy reaches for tragedy but settles for soap opera.

Rated: 2/5

New York Daily News

There are moments of amusing melodrama, but for the most part, the action is too preposterous to take seriously, and too serious to be very much fun.

Rated: 1.5/4

New York Post

Toward the end, there's a delightful dream sequence, which shows that director-writers Michalis Reppas and Thanassis Papathanasiou aren't complete hacks. Perhaps they'll do better the next time out.

Rated: 1/4

Film Journal International

Their super-tawdry film becomes as compulsively watchable as it is often inadvertently laughable.

Without its soporific asides, Oxygono would have succeeded in creating its own tone of intelligent noir irreverence.

If only this were a farce, but, no, it's deadly earnest and eventually just deadly.

Heavy duty dramatics and a sordid story but it's involving and the acting isn't bad if at times a bit over the top.

It could have been a much much better movie... but it seemed like everyone in the film had to have at least 2 lovers and all the men were bi- at best... It just felt a bit tiring... FYI, in Greece it was called "Oxygen" and the poster was NOTHING like the international one :-P This society is much more conversative than it appears on film.

Greek Cinema is indeed not as conservative as thought, some off its subjects even Hollywood dare not touching. Like this one. The most wonderful parts off this flick was not about the homosexual liaison (Christos & Yiorgos) since which is no longer new today, but the scenes 3 women characters' (Christos' mother, Yiorgos' wife, Christos' older female lover) probing each other.
