Not bad but definitely was quite underwhelming. Felt like a missed opportunity. Overall the character work is alright, the sadness of the situation and the lives is well conveyed but familiarity of the individual stories sorta made everything merge together where nothing quite stood out; it just goes on without making you truly care for its character and it also feels little stagey at times so there not much room for atmosphere to hide the flaws. There's a little subplot involving the ex prostitute, now cleaning lady of the brothel which doesn't get enough focus but the purity of that was the real highlight for me and that's the one where the film felt like it was something substantial.
Άμα δεν έπαιζε ο Παπαμιχαήλ θα ήταν τεσσάρι εύκολα η ταινία.Επίσης τρομερή μουσική.
