Critic Reviews:
- " Even thinking about how damned unexpectedly penetrating and existentially resonant this movie and the series is, I want to well up. " – Blake Howard (Dark Horizons)
- " The Trip to Greece is like a tonic: exotic locations, charming restaurants serving delicious food, sunshine, sparkling blue waters. It's an enjoyable exercise in armchair travel, but it's also more than that. " – Debi Enker (The Age, Australia)
- " It's a road film, a buddy comedy and a rumination on age and mortality, all rolled into a quaint and gorgeously crafted piece of food porn that's endlessly watchable. " – Joshua Brunsting (The CriterionCast)
