Two Tickets to Greece Movie Reviews

awful & totally unnecessary

I kept watching, out of respect and simple curiosity, way too embarrassed by the lame dialogues, but hoping they might get better. Most acting was done right… but then, a few minutes into the second hour of testing my patience watching, the octopus scene made it unbearable. Why did Kristin Scott Thomas have to enjoy smashing that poor creature against the wall? What purpose did it serve to the script? Shame on anyone who encouraged or agreed to it.

Or is it a metaphor for the fact that intelligent people (symbolised by the octopus) would have their brains totally inside out after watching this film? Seriously, why was that scene even allowed in the first place? Unacceptable.

cardboard cutouts

The genre here is Middle Aged Comedy Chick-flick centred on 3 women Kristin Scott Thomas Laure Calamy and Olivia Côte who are represented here as cliches of cliches of cliches of Middle Aged women

• One is over the top refuse-to-age loud brash and yes irritating; the next is anal my-husband-legged-it-with-a-younger-woman-boohoo-my-life-is-ruined she has a son who is even a bigger poorly characterized or over-characterized cardboard cutout who tries to link her up with the former friend

• Then there is Kristin Scott Thomas who plays an “artistic” recycled aged British deb having matured into a jewellery-maker living with a Greek artist. It is as if those characters and the storyline were designed by AI; hey i don’t know maybe they were ??? ok so within 10 minutes when I realized the genre and the IQ level of the piece I was gonna bail but somehow stayed (I had nothing else to do) and maybe the Greek Islands kept me. Anyway it said Kristin Scott Thomas was in the film and she does not appear for quite a while; when she does the cardboard cutout effect is still fully in operation she may even add to it and her acting skills are mostly wasted since it is like watching an ultra-marathon runner taking part in a sack-race at the local middle-school. But she still manages to land a few good moves … The wardrobe they picked for aging deb reconverted to Artiste in The Cyclades is vomit-inducing on all levels. The hair? What? Really?

As we said and repeat AI probably did that too ?

So if you want to be positive here it is a film about friendship but clumsy clumsy. The dialogue is borderline special needs. The acting could be good but is reined in by the other factors.

And yet somehow i stayed till the end. Maybe Greece? Maybe Kristin Scott Thomas? Maybe a perverted desire to see how bad it could get; and let us be clear this is very bad but somehow ultimately watchable Put your brain in a jar and sit back and watch those landscapes and maybe a bit of the story; it will not tire you out.

Cringy but cute

What would happen if you put a pessimistic introvert close to an optimistic extrovert? This movie tries to answer that question. And as a realistic introvert, I understood one of the character a lot more than the other. Blandine was left by her ex husband, who chose a younger woman to get married and have a kid with. Trying to make her feel better, their son decides to contact Magalie, her best friend in high school, hoping it will help his mother get through her depression. Thirty years after, it is very clear that they have nothing in common, Blandine has a job, a very tidy life, and seems quite dull, and on the other side, Magalie is still living as if she was 20, without a job, in a small room with a roommate, smiling, screaming and living life as if there was no tomorrow. Through lies, they end up going together on a trip to Greece, where nothing goes according to plan, which makes Blandine very unhappy and snappy, while Magalie always find the good in everything. The story is centred on Blandine going through a journey on herself, and slowly opening up to the world, thanks to someone she thinks she hates. As I said earlier, I am an introvert, so Magalie is very much the type of character that I would run away from, but the duo does work quite well together. And even though a lot of moments were cringy to me, I do think that was also the point of the movie.
