From the very beginning, Meat grabs your attention with its distinctively shaky camera work by Giorgos Valsamis. Initially, this technique might feel jarring, especially if you’re new to this, but it quickly draws you into the film, making you feel more connected to its unfolding drama.

The film presents a straightforward story, but it’s the way it delves into family dynamics that sets it apart. It explores how one family member’s decisions impact the lives of others, revealing the intricate power plays within family relationships.

Meat resonates because it mirrors real life, where decision-making often stems from deeply ingrained patriarchal influences. While it’s a Greek tragedy rich in themes of crime, punishment, and betrayal, the concept of “favor” stands out. The film reflects how people make choices driven by relationships and money, only to be taken aback by unforeseen consequences.

The cast delivers outstanding performances, including Maria Kallimani, the remarkable lead Akilas Karazisis, Giorgos Symeonidis, Kostas Nikouli, and the female love interest who confronts Nikouli about his choice to prioritize his family’s needs over their future together.

Ultimately, Meat surprises with its satisfying conclusion. A great movie captivates with its storytelling, and Meat keeps you engaged and guessing, offering unexpected twists that make it a memorable experience.
