“Deserves credit for shining light on a crime that’s — unbelievably and controversially — still denied to this day”~Andrew Lowry, Empire Online

Aroview: From the director of HOTEL RWANDA, this historical drama set in the final years of the Ottoman Empire follows an Armenian student caught up in a love triangle which is soon overshadowed by the Armenian genocide in Turkey during WWII.

2 stars (Good Try) Melodramatic style & contrived romance muddy what could have been, for $90m, a great historical epic. Spanish landscapes, architecture & costumes are realistic but the one scene that could have provided some explanation of these tragic events was deleted. ~Sandy

2 stars (Good Try) The Armenians deserve that their story is told properly and not through a dramatisation. ~Tubbs
