Each actor and actress performances were brilliant, even the young ones, and there were some really difficult scenes.

Comments:
The film tells an incredible story filled with joy and tragedy, and overall I think it was wonderfully written. My only critic is the love story between Mikeal and Ana, in my opinion, seems rushed, and almost unnecessary to the story. I feel if the 'love triangle' wasn't apart of the script, the story wouldn't lose much. | ||||||

I don't know where they filmed, but it was amazing. The filmmakers really did create 20th century Ottoman Empire! | ||||||

George made good use of camera angles and positions to make scenes more dynamic. I really like one particular scene between Ana and Chris that is shot by looking at them through a mirror. | ||||||

Recommendation
This movie is an unexpected gem! If you like historical films, you'll definitely enjoy it. I caution anyone who is a little faint of heart, because this is a pretty dark film. If you're interested in learning a little bit of history in an entertaining format, then definitely check it out!
Au ReVoir,
