A historical romance that has little value either historically or romantically.
March 09, 2017
"The Ottoman Lieutenant" is an overwrought nurse romance merged with a history lesson, a combination that is hard to take as seriously as the film wants to be taken.
March 09, 2017
The by-the-numbers story never achieves its aimed-for grandeur or intensity, and the striking Turkish locations prove far more interesting than the characters.
March 10, 2017
Odious propagandistic attempt to enshrine Turkish denial of the Armenian genocide of World War I into cinematic history via a tepid and unconvincing romance.
March 13, 2017
An enlightening film could be made about the Ottoman Empire in the days before World War I, that particular place at that particular time, but The Ottoman Lieutenant isn't it.
March 13, 2017
An old-fashioned melodrama with little imagination when it comes to creating scenes such as the ones where the couple is riding through the countryside or is taking a romantic boat ride. [Full review in Spanish]

We can smell the rancid coats of paint on this attempt to whitewash history.
March 10, 2017
A slight but eminently humane story, lushly filmed, and richly romantic.
March 10, 2017
A near-constant flow of clichés.
March 09, 2017
There isn't much of a script here.

"The Ottoman Lieutenant" is all over the map in terms of tone, genre and acting styles.

I'm sympathetic to the filmmakers whose craftsmanship went into the movie. Absent historical context this would be adequate light far... but the weak script/dialog and narrative retcon can't be ignored and spoils their efforts.
