Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

milhe Simon Abkarian and Angela Sarafyan are, hands down, the greatest Armenian actors working today. And here in 1915 they are working together, showing us passion, pain, and a little bit of magic. The movie isn't for everyone, but the fact that it's a showcase for great talent -- great acting, great music, great production design, great costume design, great cinematography, and the rest -- is undeniable. Watch it and appreciate it, even if you don't love it. We need more movies like this, which don't tackle historic issues as mere period pieces. There are new ways of looking at history, and this is an excellent example of one such beautiful effort.

ondur While this might not be the move Armenians are looking for, in terms of the movie that will tell the world about what happened in 1915, while this is not Shindler's List for the Armenian people, it's something just as important. It's not about what happened in the past. It's about how the past affects the present. Is history dead? Does 1915 matter today? These are the defining questions of this particular movie, and these are questions that should concern not just Armenians, but all conscious thinking people. It's time we stop treating history as something that has happened and is gone, but rather an ongoing force that must be reckoned with.

zif ofoz A mass of confusion for this viewer. The story seems to bounce around between - the horrible 1915 genocide of Armenians, a haunted theatre, a love triangle, political protesters, arguing actors, a frustrated director, police, how to sell tickets for a one night performance, a possible murder plot, and an actress that can channel the dead.I got lost in this story. I was hoping for some insight into the 1915 massacre innocent people but nothing like that happens. The entire story is more about Simon's ego than bringing to the public knowledge a horror that happened 100 years ago.A very odd movie.

keuhnelian-47743 I downloaded the movie in HD through the official website, expecting a historical drama about the Armenian genocide. Instead, what I watched was a a thrilling psychological movie with a message and intended for a wide audience, be it Turk, Armenian or other. It was beautiful to watch a movie that could break boundaries and make you think deep. I agree it's not for everybody, everyone can have their own perception but I understand the importance of such movies. The Armenian genocide of 1915 affected real people and their ancestors, the movie talks about real experience in a contemporary world. watch it. I also recommend the soundtrack, it was beautiful and I found out that Serj Tankian was the musical director. The music played a good role in putting me in the vibe and I felt something very strong at the end of it all.
