Reviews for Oxygono
1 - 13 (sorted by source)
The movie crumbles under the weight of its own serious-mindedness.
01/06/06
Without its soporific asides, Oxygono would have succeeded in creating its own tone of intelligent noir irreverence.
04/09/06
Their super-tawdry film becomes as compulsively watchable as it is often inadvertently laughable.
03/01/07
It’s a mean-spirited exercise in stilted outrageousness.
01/05/06
If only this were a farce, but, no, it's deadly earnest and eventually just deadly.
02/27/06
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.
01/06/06
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.
11/18/05
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.
11/18/05
The Greek film Blackmail Boy has the feel of farce at times, but much of the time it just seems determined to shock.
11/17/05
The only trick the filmmakers pull off is wasting a perfectly cute Tsimitselis on a pair of underwear two sizes too big.
11/10/05
The tone is so poorly established that it takes a while to realize its cavalcade of outrageous misfortunes is meant to be farcical, not melodramatic.
11/18/05
The hysteria is relentless: shrieking, punching, puking, trigger pulling. Overheard bits of inane party chatter provide the only moments of levity; otherwise the theater of cruelty slogs on with no cathartic release.
