Great Film overall

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Absolutely brilliant

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

First of all, I wan to start of by saying that "Committed" is so far the best film I've seen in 2015, and mind you I've watched hundreds of films this year. It has to be the perfect film for the romantics and contains the fabulous surprise element in a sense that one wouldn't at first think that this feature film could actually turn out to be the bomb, a one that would blow away everyone's mind. The cast, even though they are not such familiar faces, have put in their best and it could really be felt through the screen. I hope they get a big recognition or something after this film because it was THAT good! I am particularly elated about this film because I wasn't at all prepared for such a fantastic one, initially. Handsome actor, beautiful actress, awesome sceneries, upbeat soundtracks and, most importantly, superbly fantastic storyline. Their chemistry is so smoking that I would definitely root for this couple to be together in another movie, fingers-crossed a sequel of this one, may be?<3 hahaha I'm thinking that he actually went after her and proposed her and they got married, had a baby and then another baby, like a conventional life. ;) Watched it yesterday night and still the heat of it ain't getting off. Great job! (y) <3

Committed is a great movie, catering for all opinions on life and love. It has quality laughs, genuine heart felt moments and an ending which is a real thought provoker. A perfect way to spend 90 minutes! Now that I have said all that I want to say, I have to waffle on for 7 more lines, without giving away any spoilers of the movie. Maybe it would be easier for me to check the "spoiler alert" box and give a quick plot summary. Surely, if I want to leave a review that just says "brilliant", as the movie was, I should be able to do so. Why is it that important that I waste people's time with information that is not relevant to the topic. If you have read this far, I apologise and solely blame the IMDb review protocol. But thank you for your patience!

When I settled in to watch this small movie from Cyprus, I wasn't expecting to see something that would impress and move me so much. The images were beautiful with world-class photography and while I was convinced this would be a cliché romantic comedy, the ending completely surprised me. The storyline was so original, in fact I don't think I've ever seen something similar and the locations were fresh and new as we haven't really seen the island of Cyprus on this scale before. I also loved the leading actors - Orestes Sophocleous who I know from his amazing theater background and the mesmerizing Melia Kreiling. I found I could really relate to what they were going through...this movie is great for anyone who has ever been in love or ever questioned it.

I saw this at the San Francisco Greek Film Festival. Without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, I'd say that this film has a touching and memorable storyline. I truly was surprised. One of the most interesting aspects of the film seems to be the result of a tight budget (mostly due to economic crisis and perhaps the youth of the director). There are basically two characters; the rest of the film is mostly scenery -- as varied as can be found in the Mediterranean on the island of Cyprus. That is, coastline, beautiful pines, open arid spaces -- and a car. With a film done this sparely everything depends on a good story and also the capability of the actors. I liked both, and especially remarked on the female lead. But it became about the importance of honor, raised questions about what a real man is, and where we find the truth about what's essential. An affirmation of what is good, in my opinion. See it if only for the amazing job with such a budget. Shakespeare, too, was staged in early times with a kind of bare bones approach compared to today's cinema, so were the early Greek plays. Quality shows through. I won't spoil the story...but it's very engaging and also a mystery, with plot twists and pathos in the end.
