Moviegoers are saying
This Greek historical drama about Kapodistrias has audiences deeply divided, with viewers either embracing its bold cinematography and unintentional comedy or cringing at its theatrical dialogue and questionable historical liberties. The film has become a cultural phenomenon for all the wrong reasons, spawning memes about the intense Nikodemos-Kapodistrias dynamic and bizarre post-credit scenes featuring modern politicians watching TV.

    Kapodistrias: The Governor

    Βάζω like για την ιστορική ακρίβεια αλλιώς θα ήταν meh. Η αναπαράσταση της Παναγίας ρίχνει πολύ την ταινία, όπως και η ελληνική προφορά των «ξένων» στα αγγλικά. Παρ’όλα αυτά, ο Σμαραγδής κάνει ένα ωραιότατο roast στους Άγγλους που σου αφήνει ένα ωραίο συναίσθημα εκδίκησης.
