Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 01/06/2006
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 11/18/2005
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 11/18/2005
1/4
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. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 03/01/2007
Their super-tawdry film becomes as compulsively watchable as it is often inadvertently laughable. Go to Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net 04/09/2006
Without its soporific asides, Oxygono would have succeeded in creating its own tone of intelligent noir irreverence. Go to Full Review Andy Klein Los Angeles CityBeat 02/27/2006
If only this were a farce, but, no, it's deadly earnest and eventually just deadly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/07/2010 REALLY ......... I like this movie '' good story&,good cast.. See more 12/24/2009 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. See more 03/01/2009 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. See more 01/13/2009 smart and edgy gay film with a lot of action, suspense, and drama! See more 10/18/2008 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. See more 09/27/2008 q dramonon!!! igual podrian haberle dado un final y no dejar a la libre imaginación. See more Read all reviews
