‘​Sundays’: Thessaloniki Review

Dir/scr: Alethea Avramis. Greece/France. 2019. 80mins.

The certainties of a life are peeled away with gentle understanding in Sundays. Director Alethea Avramis deploys a family album of photos, home movies and conflicting memories to create a sympathetic portrait of her father Tom, a Greek Orthodox priest in America who was never happy with the figure he presented to the world. The result is a melancholy documentary with appeal for streaming services drawn to thoughtful human stories.

The camerawork makes viewers feel as if they are perched on someone’s shoulder, listening in on a private conversation.
