Mediterraneo poster

A cute but completely inconspicuous little film. Not knowing its backstory, it's a bit of a mystery why and how this became an Oscar winner, but maybe the US was ready for a quick summer vacation in Greece, because that's pretty much all you're getting. The setting is lovely, the rest of the film not so much.

The characters are a bit annoying, and the performances aren't great. Luckily, the film doesn't take things too seriously, so you don't have to care for them too much. The presentation is decent, the drama is sufficient, and the runtime is solid, but nothing really stands out, other than the sunny vibes. I didn't mind this one, but the credits are still rolling and I've already forgotten half of it.
