Worlds Apart
Set in modern day Greece,'Worlds Apart' is comprised of three separate narratives each following a love story between a foreigner and a Greek. Each story represents a different generation falling in love during a time of socioeconomic turmoil that dominates Southern Europe as a whole,only to connect as a single story in the end. Almost like a triptych work of art where each painting stands alone,yet its true impact lies when viewed as a whole. 'Worlds Apart', follows the characters difficult path to love and the complications that their world has. Nevertheless Greece,despite its harsh realities,is still a place where truth,beauty and humanity exist. A place where love can thrive even in the darkest hour.

Warm, wistful...a melancholy and sometimes tragic Greek romance with an allegorical edge.January 11, 2017
Papakaliatis eventually shows an affinity for filming two people in love, but his actors often lack the chemistry to make us believe that their bond transcends all socioeconomic boundaries.January 11, 2017
Worlds Apart is a naive exercise in empathy that unintentionally enters troubling territory with its simplistic take on politics.April 04, 2017
In Greece it can only be more relevant today than when it was made.January 14, 2017
It can't help but come off as a bit diagrammed. Yet the movie is onto something: what happens to a society when "ordinary" life begins to get stripped away.January 13, 2017
The writer/director [is] so intent on hammering home his thematic points that the situations and characters seem contrived merely to underline them.January 13, 2017
Powerful, engrossing and provocative with just the right blend of truth and spectacle. It's the rare kind of film that has a heart, mind and soul intact.January 19, 2017
It's an often tender, affecting film that slowly creeps up on you - then completely takes hold.
