Adults in the Room (2019)

Adults in the Room: Directed by Costa-Gavras. With Christos Loulis, Alexandros Bourdoumis, Ulrich Tukur, Daan Schuurmans. Greece in 2015: the economy is in tatters and the country is on the verge of bankruptcy. A new government rebels against the EU’s iron-fisted rule and inspires millions of Europeans. Based on the political memoirs of Yanis Varoufakis.

“First of all, I will start by mentioning the obvious: The negative reviews are by not-so-bright Greeks who canu0026#39;t review a movie for what it is, but for what it shows. The summer of 2015 was a pretty heated period in Greece, and many people have not forgiven the politicians involved.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAbout the movie. Donu0026#39;t expect a masterpiece. It is not. However it is a decent representation of Varoufakisu0026#39;s point of view, which on each own, is extremely interesting. Loulisu0026#39;s performance as Varoufakis is the strongest asset of this movie in my opinion. Bourdoumis was very good as well as Tsipras.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePhotography was good. Editing was good. I found the sound editing irritating, like I do in most Greek movies (why is that? Any greek production sounds weird to me, like they canu0026#39;t keep steady the volume of the voices spoken).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e7/10 from me.”
