Complex like a good wine
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.
Thriller about history
Confusing to some, but for those who avoid simple solutions and want to see the full complexity of history in action -- one of the best indie releases of the year. Highly recommend if you want a smart thriller and not just entertainment! Simon Abkarian has a masterful performance. Angela Sarafyan is powerful. There is some confusion and maybe an unnecessary plot line that I didn't quite connect to. But I'd rather not bring it up here. Overall a very strong movie, with a point off due to personal taste. It is sad that we have such a scarcity of Armenian Genocide movies. And one can only hope that more movies like this will be filmed, even as we wait for the great Armenian Genocide Epic Story.
Thought provoking-Not the 1915 movie I expected!
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!
People need to know about this
This is history that needs to be told. This is history that people need to know. This is more than a global event. This is a human event. This is more than politics. This is about the treatment of a whole people. You might think you don't like history. You might think you don't care about global events. Or you might not think about history or global events at all. But hopefully you care about people and people's lives. Whether you agree with the politics or not, you need to know the story. See the movie. It's filmed in a style that will appeal to everyone. It's revealing, it's emotional, it's action, it's drama, it's suspense, it's about perseverance, it's about people.
Most underrated film!
I would have given this movie an 8 or 9 out of 10, except that this movie is SO underrated that I have to give it a 10. What's not to like? Simon Abkarian proves once and for all that he is a powerful, multi-faceted leading man. Meanwhile, Angela Sarafyan is stunning and hypnotic. Why aren't these actors getting props? Sam Page plays his role exactly as he needs to, while Nikolai Kinski reaches for the moon and lands among the stars for sure. One more thing: the theater is GORGEOUS. And Leigh Underwood's photography is just as beautiful and elegant as the theatre. A wonderful movie, if you like this kind of movie. If you don't, then why are you watching it anyway?
