Fantastic!
Absolutely the worst movie.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
The movie is great. The music is amazing. The story is deep.It makes you understand how difficult it is to make decisions in complicated situations (not that the Armenian genocide was just a complicated situation: it has been an horrible atrocity).At the end the movie left me with a conflict inside.The actors did a great job.Amazing job by the directors.I hope in a sequel.
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.
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.
This was definitely not the 1915 movie I expected! It did challenge me on what I expected from a 1915 movie. I found the movie quite arty but well-made. It took me a while to understand the metaphors throughout the movie but that's what I liked about it. It was not as straightforward as many Hollywood movies. It makes you think and reflect about your own feelings about the Armenian Genocide. The movie delved into the topic of denial in a metaphorical way and brings to the audience's attention that the Armenians in the diaspora are still somewhat lost due to this denial of the Armenian Genocide.A great, challenging movie with great actors and real feeling.The characters were meant to be the current generation of Armenians. The 2 leads where very convincing in their roles. They showed a great depth in characters. Definitely recommend watching it. Great movie for a debate!
