A woman's picture in the most positive sense of the word, this [is a] handsomely mounted and impeccably acted film.

A Good Movie To Watch

As any good period drama, the emotional range is high, and the beauty in the premise—forbidden love—is a gift that keeps on giving.

Rated: 79/100

Better at conjuring up this island world before and after WWII than resolving its dramatic issues, but the actresses, like the women of Andros, earn our sympathy and hold our interest as the island itself makes us long for a "bucket list" visit.

Rated: 3/4

Little England tells a subtly complex story that brings the audience on a mesmerizing and melodramatic romantic journey.

...a slow-moving film that honors the domestic sphere about all and is enhanced by location shooting and the beautiful widescreen compositions of cinematographer Simos Sarketzis.

Rated: 7/10

Newcity

Ships come and go, the waves crash, passions thrive. Men leave for the sea, women await, triangles turn. [Its] success at home in economically battered Greece testifies to the virtuous bustle of its very Hellenic sense of spectacle

Very beautiful photography but that's probably the only good enough aspect of this unnecessarily long film (along with a few performances). The story is not very original and the dialogue can be too cheesy at times.

Beautiful period film. A modern Greek Tragedy, well written, and acted. Gorgeous cinematography and costumes. Not to be missed.

Although the manipulative love triangle may bore audience like me, the Aegean Sea and the score are both awesome.

Overlong and a tad overbaked, this Greek period drama has an alarming tendency to exposition and cheesiness - especially with those pseudo-poetic lines uttered now and again by the characters -, but the beautiful cinematography and strong performances compensate.
