Reviews
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
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
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!
Ankit_Srivastava A colossal bore! Avoid this one for sure. Full of cliches with an extremely boring plot!
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.
