The Man with the Answers

All too often, 'gay interest' movies seem to be more depressing than uplifting, so I welcomed this hopeful, sincere and realistic piece of art. The pace is slow and the action mostly calm, and that's not a detriment. The story is just so darn sweet, you can't help but be moved by it...and nowadays more than ever, we could all use this kind of film -- that takes our stress away and puts a smile on our faces. The two appealing leads, Vasilis Magouliotis and Anton Weil, give thoroughly impressive performances, and their characters are very affable. The locales are beautiful, and the soundtrack is enjoyable. I don't often think about seeing the same film more than once, but I can state for certain that I would willingly watch this one again. My thanks to all those involved in the making of this little gem.

A great little road trip film, good script and good casting. Beautiful locations and it's funny too. This deserves a sequel or two or three or... Where are the streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, Apple or others, this is one type of film they should be supporting.

It's in four languages (Greek, Italian, German and English), most of it is in English, but subtitles weren't that great. Gay films need to get rid of their obsession with "Coming Out" and "AIDS" stories and replace them with great films like this one. It shows the age of those making those types of films., stop making films celebrating victimhood and start making films celebrating life.

Kudos to the writers and producers of this film and the actors, I hope we see more of Mathias and Victoras.

The cinematography, and the two leading actors are visually pleasing, but the movie lacks a compelling story, and the development of their relationship is a little bit odd.

Two stranger falling in love along way their road trip. Visually pleased. A simple slice of life tale.

This film is good, but frankly does not quite merit some of the rave reviews it has had here. The two lead actors ( to me ) did not give off that spark of passion that the film deserved. The Greek, handsome in looks sets off to find his mother and on the way he picks up a German, who likes stealing things like sandwiches and bags of crisps, and this adds a slight fear that he might be up to no good. I quite liked the suspense about this, but after tepidly ( we have hints of desire, but no more ) having sex with the Greek, the German appears to have taken off with the the Greek's car. Pale recalls of Hitchcock and Wim Wenders pervades this film, and I did like the picturesque scenery which was all to the good considering a lot of us cannot travel at the moment. The Greek wants to meet his mother ( a touch of Elektra/ Orestes meeting Clytemnestra here ) and I rather hoped for a slightly more interesting ending. No spoilers, although many here have given them. It is a good film and well made, but given the interesting title I am not sure it had enough passion in it. I repeat that word because the minimal contact between the two leads was not quite strong enough for me to believe in it. We should either have eroticism, or a clear build up that these two are really getting deeply involved, and that frankly is the responsibility of the director or the actors, or both. Yes, there is a semi-naked swim together, and a night of delicate touching and the object of that was clearly to convince there was a dance of desire. This reticence and the too rushed ending, and a dreadful Eurovision-type song sung over the end titles disappointed. I enjoyed the film for the journey, but I was hungry for more convincing fervour. I liked very much the Greek's mother, an actor who promised hidden fires that were neither explored or lit. Overall a film worth seeing, but a little too coy for my taste.
