I saw this movie at its premiere in Greece. I didn't realize how time went by, since the story and the directing were so fascinating that kept me at the edge of my seat. Of course I was so interested in the plot, since whatever is described in this movie has plenty to do with me as a Greek and as a European. But this is not a movie you can simply ignore, no matter one's political beliefs.
The acting of some of the actors was excellent, while others seemed to struggle. The soundtrack was superb and the plot unfolded in a natural way.
This movie does not have a happy ending, nor should it have. It is the most essential type of art. The type that gives you a glimpse behind the curtains of this world.
Plot summary
Provides an extraordinary account of low cunning at the heart of Greece's 2015 financial bailout. The more defiant the left-wing Syriza government became, the more it was met with intimidation from some or duplicitous reassurance from others.

MUST BE SEEN !!!!!
Forget your political inclinations and all you had heard about Greece tragedy; the movie is basically the discussion of a recently elected left government to survive the pressure of the EU on agreements signed by its right predecessors. We know history and how ruined Greece is; perhaps not everything is true but the film is so intense that will keep you hooked for its two hours. Does not matter you do not know most of the characters. There are very few important because the rest are just puppets. There are many wrong things in Greece; but the insensibility of the great economic powers and bankers, the pressure of the money controllers to destabilize a government and force into dirty business to destroy even more the country is truly infuriating and sadly true.
How it ends; well read the news papers and it was not good for Greece
In brief, just clean your mind of politics and see this to understand how bad our world is.

This film may interest you, particularly if you are Greek
"Adults in the Room" well depicts the facts of Greece's economic ordeals in 2015 according to the book by the then minister Yanis Varoufakis. Good performance by Christos Loulis in the role of Yani, but poor performances by most all others. The film's ending dance sequence is out of place. This film by Costas Gavras certainly does not come near to his "Z" and "Missing" but is watchable, particularly by Greeks as I who lived that dreaded period......
