Good film.

'Boy on the Bridge' is a film that gets a bit (overly?) dramatic towards its conclusion, though even so I had a pleasant time viewing it - the short run time of around 80 minutes helps, too. Everything is put together with competence, the score is particularly solid.

Konstantinos Farmakas is more than decent as the young lead. Toni Dimitriou is possibly the best of the rest, though the whole cast are probably on the same level in terms of performance to be honest; Kika Georgiou, Andreas C. Tselepos and Maria Michael are solid too, as well as one or two others.

This Cypriot flick is well cast, well done in general to be fair. I like it.
