The Travelling Players

This expansive Greek drama follows a troupe of theater actors as they perform around their country during World War II. While the production that they put on is entitled "Golfo the Shepherdess," the thespians end up echoing scenes from classic Greek tales in their own lives, as Elektra plots revenge on her mother for the death of her father, and seeks help from her brother, Orestes, a young anti-fascist rebel.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
