Kyra Kyralina

I haven't read the book so maybe I'm just missing the full picture, but the story feels a bit silly and the characters do a lot of nonsensical stuff. The mother especially seems to completely lack any trace of self preservation and common sense. I can't complain about the acting, imho most actors are doing their job well (especially the main leads).

However, this movie is visually stunning and a pleasure for the eyes: locations, costumes, etc. Everything is very well done. I can't say I haven't enjoyed the movie though, it's oddly alluring despite some flaws and at least is different from the usual Netflix soup.
