CGiii Comment
The "Greek Weird Wave" continues...
It's neither funny...nor was it particularly disturbing (as it was said to be).
A bunch of middle-aged men playing a game of one-upmanship (on a boat, gettit!?). Obviously, there are a few mindless alpha-males strutting their stuff mindlessly...
And...pray tell...what was that scene with a man wandering around with an erection searching for any-man-will-do to sodomise?!?
And...the jaw-droppingly bad...the lip-synching scene to 'Loving You'...total nonsense.
In better hands, perhaps, a decent film could have been gleaned from what was - on the surface - a good idea.
Tsangari's sense-of-humour is - most definitely - an acquired distasteful taste.

The(ir) Blurb...
In the middle of the Aegean Sea, six men on a fishing trip on a luxury yacht decide to play a game. During this game, things will be compared. Things will be measured. Songs will be butchered, and blood will be tested. Friends will become rivals and rivals will become hungry. But at the end of the journey, when the game is over, the man who wins will be the best man. And he will wear on his smallest finger the victory ring: the Chevalier.
