It does have the feel of farce at times, but much of the time it just seems determined to shock.

At the center of the movie, Tsimitselis makes for a disappointing blank, a pretty poster boy who leaves a long trail of emotional wreckage in his wake.

Blackmail Boy reaches for tragedy but settles for soap opera.
38
Black comedy requires perfect pitch: Pedro Almodovar has it and cowriters/directors Michalis Reppas and Thanasis Papathanasiou don't, at least by the evidence of this film.
30
It's a mean-spirited exercise in stilted outrageousness.

The Greeks have a word for Blackmail Boy: boring.
10
Curiously, Blackmail Boy's alternate title is "Oxygen"--and by film's end, you'll be gasping for it.
