Alissa Simon Variety [A] delightful, droll, and intelligent comedy... captures the absurdity and tragedy of a complicated political situation with a consistently light touch. Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Ram Venkat Srikar Film Inquiry Smuggling Hendrix is a largely remote concept to many of us, but its political relevance emerging from its silly conflict the protagonist is pitted against makes it an accessible, amusing dramedy. Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks It's trapped by its own gentle insouciance. Rated: 6/10 Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A GREAT TALE ABOUT THE REALITIES OF MODERN, DIVIDED CYPRUS! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite interesting, mostly because of its political commentary and the way it perceives the political situation in Cyprus but still, it lacks a lot in order for it to be considered great, even when it comes to politics. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Comedy of errors when Jimi, the ne'er do well protagonist's dog, manages to breach the border between Turkish and Greek Cyprus, entangling petty criminals, an ex-girlfriend and a family man while endeavoring to return him home. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review brent m Though at times a little too political, this otherwise-heartwarming tale about a scruffy musician searching for his runaway dog in a divided Cyprus tells a charming and poignant story about the needlessly difficult struggle for humanity to come together as a unified people. The film does an excellent job of explaining a contentious political situation that hasn't received much attention in quite some time, while simultaneously casting a bright light on the need to resolve a dispute that has gone on far too long and made life difficult for the island's residents. Most of all, though, the charm and whimsy that provide the basis of this story make for enjoyable and touching viewing, showing the lengths some of us, thankfully, are willing to go to for something as elemental as protecting the welfare of man's best friend. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Unique storyline. Insight into political situation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Clever, witty, honest - must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
