Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Excellent adaptation.

Brilliant and touching

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

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.

A complicated film about the echoing effects of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the descendants of survivors today. There are many poignant moments in this film which will touch the heart of any survivor of genocide, however it tries to cover such a complex issue in a short amount of time that it becomes convoluted. But films which require you to think are the best ones. I'll be watching it a 2nd time. Even Siamanto says this story cannot be told.Don't expect a historical film about the events of 1915 nor the current day politics on the issue. Anyone in these comments who give it 1 star are clearly DENIALIST TURKS. If you suggest this is a political film you obviously haven't seen it and have another agenda. If anything this film suggests Armenians and Turks should get past their differences.

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!

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.
