Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
u-emoli This movie is ok, the plot is actually quite good and well filmed and directed. If only the production would have spent a bit more money on decent actors! Did they actually audition for this? They are so bad
anna_bella_86 Ben Kingsley and Haluk Bilginer were great. And it's good to see the genocide story objectively.
heye_can The movie is ok. Not that good that you would watch it Again and again. However its good enough to kill a couple of hours. What I find interesting is the comments here about how this movie did Not reflect historical facts about WW1. First, This is a movie not a documentary. Second it mostly is based on facts unlike the claims. What people get confused is that it's not based on the Armenian propaganda that the west got used to hearing. While I respect criticism about the movie, I cannot stand people claiming this movie was not based on historical facts like they themselves are experts on Armenian issues or WW1. Protip: Watching Armenian propaganda movies does not make you an expert, leave that to historians!
rps-2 Puzzled by the number of bad reviews and one star ratings! This film gets one of my not too frequent tens. Where do we start? The superb performances, especially the incomparable Ben Kingsley... The stunningly beautiful photography... The fascinating locations... The effective dialogue... The realistic recreation of 1914 in both the US and Turkey...There also is an intriguing plot with an unconventional love triangle... It's a war movie, a love story, an historical drama and a travelogue all wrapped to-gether in one very nice package.
