The Taverna (2019)
Humor and Complexity
3 December 2022
Movies with ethnic characters are often full of stereotypes (eg, My Big Fat Greek Wedding). This movie has them, too. This movie also has plenty of gags, some kind of gross. But it is not an insipid movie at all. All the characters have some kind of back story and this takes it to another level. It is a great blend of humor and complexity. Most of the acting is very good and brings out the characters as realistic. Although all the ensemble is strong, the actor who plays the lead character of Kostas, the restaurant owner, stands out. He could be a caricature of himself but that is who his character is.
