I thought the movie was very interesting and out of standards. I think the directors had done an excellent job in making a 100 year story be so relevant to our lives today. People who are thinkers would enjoy this movie very much. However, you do need to watch the movie carefully because every word spoken is important and if you are not paying attention you can miss a great symbolism. The actors are very good, I especially enjoyed Simon Apkarian. I also liked where the movie was filmed. The LA theater is so old and beautiful. It seemed that it has stayed opened all these years just for this movie. My advice: Watch this movie carefully and you will love it.

Simon Abkarian and Angela Sarafyan are, hands down, the greatest Armenian actors working today. And here in 1915 they are working together, showing us passion, pain, and a little bit of magic. The movie isn't for everyone, but the fact that it's a showcase for great talent -- great acting, great music, great production design, great costume design, great cinematography, and the rest -- is undeniable. Watch it and appreciate it, even if you don't love it. We need more movies like this, which don't tackle historic issues as mere period pieces. There are new ways of looking at history, and this is an excellent example of one such beautiful effort.

This just ridiculous one-sided, propaganda intended movie. Just encouraging the hatred between nations. Turkey was the country that invaded by imperialist evils. Millions of Turkish people died during that war just mainly because of 3 idiot Turkish generals who had power in government at that time, and made country join WW1 with Germany. Armenians killed so many civilians in the East side of Turkey with support of Russia and France. Thereafter Armenians' betrayal, they were forced to move far side of country as they were really dangerous for their own country and civilians. Then, Turkey is responsible for these all according evil Armenians and politicians. Turkish people died, were betrayed and suffered because of that war enough, and they are always sorry and feel bad about each one person died at that time. Behave a little bit like human, have a little bit honour and accept your nation's mistakes as well. You are the ones invaded Azerbaijan and massacred so many innocent people there with your hatred of humanity. Still you invaders are there. You are real evils. You will get nothing with this horrible behaviour of yours. Your lobby activities like these which are the way far away from being real will result in failure all the time. Armenians can just betray illiterate people who are not able to read and learn truth with these kinds of movies.

A mass of confusion for this viewer. The story seems to bounce around between - the horrible 1915 genocide of Armenians, a haunted theatre, a love triangle, political protesters, arguing actors, a frustrated director, police, how to sell tickets for a one night performance, a possible murder plot, and an actress that can channel the dead.I got lost in this story. I was hoping for some insight into the 1915 massacre innocent people but nothing like that happens. The entire story is more about Simon's ego than bringing to the public knowledge a horror that happened 100 years ago.A very odd movie.
