Kevin Crust 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 Jan 6, 2006 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman 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 Nov 18, 2005 Full Review V.A. Musetto 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 Nov 18, 2005 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Their super-tawdry film becomes as compulsively watchable as it is often inadvertently laughable. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net Without its soporific asides, Oxygono would have succeeded in creating its own tone of intelligent noir irreverence. Apr 9, 2006 Full Review Andy Klein Los Angeles CityBeat If only this were a farce, but, no, it's deadly earnest and eventually just deadly. Feb 27, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member REALLY ......... I like this movie '' good story&,good cast.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member smart and edgy gay film with a lot of action, suspense, and drama! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member q dramonon!!! igual podrian haberle dado un final y no dejar a la libre imaginación.
