Couldn't stand the chick


I watched the first ten minutes of this but the smart-ass, shallow,
air-head, totally up herself, spoilt chick turned me right off -
especially all the sh*t coming out of her mouth. Does she keep it up
right through the movie? Please let me know if you watched it all. I
didn't want to waste my time and find out if things improved, but she
had nothing, and I was worried that would apply to the whole film. I'd
appreciate your advice. Cheers.

I think it sucked too. I finished watching the entire film though. Greece is so beautiful such a shame this movie is so bad

You're obviously highly intelligent. One of my ambitions is to visit Greece one day soon. and I'm sure I'll have good time. Cheers, man.

Greece is beautiful, but this film was shot entirely in Ukraine! They built the "Greek" sets.

the actress playing sappho looked a bit like courtney cox

I have to agree that Avalon Barrie isn't very good, but the film is well made and the cinematography is outstanding. The Crimea was a fabulous stand-in for Lesbos.

I wanted to be free of the loathesome and vapid couple, right from the start.

The redhead would be enjoyable in a Bond film.

cinematography?
Pleasurable

Relaxing for travelers if only the characters were absent!

We watch this film with our post modern gay friendly eyes, but think for a minute what hell women in the '20 were experiencing. The last words of Sappho to her husband was i am what you made me...

Probably THE WORST actress in a film EVER. And I'm talking about porn films as well. BAD porn films. Where they have to give the actress her own name because she'd get too confused if they gave her any other name. I honestly don't know that I've ever seen worse acting in my entire life. Even in parodies that try to exaggerate horrible acting.

(And I really was hoping/praying/cheering that she'd off herself and put her, and everyone else, out of her misery.)

In the movie she is going through a major change in her life and that is the reason why she is behaving like "shallow, air-head" etc. It is a pity you did not understand that at all.
