Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

avettiicreations I'm a young Armenian man. I heard of this film because Serj Tankian did the score. Didn't know what to expect. I wanted to expect a live-action movie which reenacted the genocide, much like Schindler's List...however, this told a powerful, unexpected story through a bold parallel which delved deep into the psychology of what took place, how we feel about it as Armenians, and offered a gut-wrenching, heart- breaking yet hopeful path toward letting go, and possibly, moving on. The ending brought me to tears in an emotional crescendo. I felt the pain of the characters and what they faced. It's what we all face in our own way as Armenians. Live in the past, or move forward. Neither is without sacrifice.

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.

anoush_jebejian 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!

Ryan M I really enjoyed the movie. Definitely worth the watch! --- Rumor has it that some people wanted a harsher movie, but as an unbiased opinion, I believe this was perfect. It actually left me wanting to know more about the tragedy. I also appreciated the theme of looking forward and overcoming. Never forget the past, but come together, and overcome. That really stood out to me. Definitely a powerful movie. If you are considering watching this right now, don't expect to be playing on your phone. You will be glued to your seat and you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen!
