Now, with invading army forces at their doorstep, and the world about to plunge into all-out war, she must make a decision if she wants to be what other people want her to be, or to be herself.

Movie Reviews

Shockya.com - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenThis poor man's Lawrence of Arabia is a swashbuckling World War One tale involving a Muslim man's love for a Christian woman amid a background of people determined to kill each other.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekA deeply flawed film, as both romantic epic and historical commentary.
indieWire - 6/10 by David EhrlichA limp and lifeless historical melodrama that aspires to be the “Pearl Harbor” of the preamble to World War I and still falls well short of that ignoble goal, Joseph Ruben’s The Ottoman Lieutenant tries to snatch a love triangle from out beneath the Armenian Genocide but fails to get any of the angles right.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatPortrait of a strong-willed 23-year-old American who sets off on an adventure.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonUnabashedly old-fashioned and romantic, this World War I-era movie fearlessly plucks at the heartstrings while offering glorious, big-screen cinematography ... and a bit of revisionist history.
Salon.com - 6/10 by Gary M. Kramer"The Ottoman Lieutenant" is all over the map in terms of tone, genre and acting styles.
Film Threat - 5/10 by Bradley GibsonI'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.
Film Journal International - 5/10 by David Noh[Sir Ben Kingsley's] suffocatingly bad histrionic choices of late have led me to wonder if Oscars can be rescinded.
The Seattle Times - 5/10 by Moira MacdonaldI’ll admit to a weakness for this sort of thing (which Merchant-Ivory, a couple of decades back, made into elegant art), but even I couldn’t muster up much enthusiasm for this one, a tepid love triangle set in the Ottoman Empire in the early days of World War I.
Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by Sheri LindenThe by-the-numbers story never achieves its aimed-for grandeur or intensity, and the striking Turkish locations prove far more interesting than the characters.
