Medea *****
A visual and sound ecstasy, rarely felt in current cinema
A timeless dialogue between the Artist (Athanitis) and the Poet (Evripides)
KinoCulture Montreal, Elie Castiel
 
Stunning, a  real breakthrough
Christos Solomos, Ierapetra IFF
 
True cinema - like a black and white film noir of love, betrayal and revenge
Dimitris Panagiotatos, EfSyn
 
Dimitris Athanitis films and re-signifies the icy ether of our alienation from the cinema,
our distance from classical education, 
any last attempt to regain the horizon
Kostas Karderinis, Mic.gr
 
Watch the movie ANYWAY and finally DARE to define your place in the frame.
Even now shall we turn a blind eye to the brilliance of modern cinema?
Alexis Dermetzoglou KEMES
 
        Reinventing the primal myth
It is admirable that such an old story is staged in such a modern way
Stratos Kersanidis, THE ERA
 
How to ideally visualize the tragedy of Euripides and drive Alexandra Kazazou
to an outstandingphysical performance
Tasos Dertilis, Grandmagazine.gr

The direction allows and dares to draw emotional dynamics from its expressive continuity,
 and the lead performance by Alexandra Kazazou covered a spectrum of terrifying acting demands.
Yannis Krusinski, Eretikos.gr
