6/10
clumsy in every way possible
2 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
It is not really bad .... it is just badly put together and the storyline is a lame duck .... we never really find out what happened on the beach .... he asks if she agrees and she says yes

last we see .... then there is the asleep bit .... really not cool but it does not go anywhere as friends come in ...

So what is it? A sort of teenage me-too to keep up with the current Zeitgeist and yes it is MUCH needed but so ham-fisted in Society at large as it is here

The main actress who is truly very good even magnetic spends 2/3 of the piece here sulking ... she does it it well but what is the point of this? Wasted talent.

So awaiting GCSE's results in Crete and one of the 3 friends is inexperienced and wants to remedy that .... so she follows an idiot to the beach .... and then we are served a sort of he was a bit of a cad kind of story ... Quelle surprise!

It is done clumsily. Of course these are important matters. But this here is a mostly tedious unimportant treatment in film form

I still give a 6 due to good to excellent acting from most and on behalf of all Northern Europeans we got to add sorry to Cretans for these hordes of sozzled youth puking all over their paradise island ....

Not recommended.

PS why use a 25 and a 26-year old to portray 16-year olds is there is shortage of younger actresses? As we mentioned clumsy and adds a feeling of unbelievability.
