donblosser No big surprise that the Turkish government orchestrated a massive digital troll 1 star down-vote. You can still be arrested in Turkey for just talking about the genocide. Not a 10 star review because I'm not happy that they had to "sex up" the film with the main female character sleeping with two different men, neither one her husband. Not exactly honoring the 1.5 million godly Armenians who died. Think Turkey has changed? There's an American, Andrew Brunson, over twenty years a pastor of a small struggling church in Turkey, now in prison nearly two years because he is a Christian. Boycott Turkish apricots and Turkish Airlines until he is released and the genocide confessed.

alexk99 I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out, and I immediately fell in love with it. I can connect to it on a more personal level, and I really thought the casting was on point. I don't cry during movies very often, but this one had me in tears by the end of it. An absolute masterpiece, I have seen it several times now and I encourage everyone to watch it and educate themselves about the atrocities that occurred during that time era so that it does not repeat itself. Very beautifully put together. It is a must watch!

alessacarri The promise is a movie that promises you that something Eye catching is going to happen but it doesn't. The movie starts really quick with wonderful wide shots with a obviously high budget, very pleasing to see but nothing new. We get a love aspect quick and sponteanous, the building of the love is the same old, same old. One thing it surprises me is that they didn't really exploit Christian bale's talent, his character was missing something, I couldn't get if he was going to be bad or good, there were glimpses of him doing maybe something to make a plot twist but that didn't not happen. The 'plot twist' wasn't that but Ana drowning, bad timing, what a tragedy. The end was quick as the whole movie, they are all in peace now but there was so much missing. I know this is a movie based on historical happenings but from a Cinematographical perspective this movie lacked so much and it was made with a basic structure of the typical Drama, War and Love movie.

mjdsj Great movie. So glad the truth is now being reported. It is painful to see, but must see we must
