Reviews

The Guardian - Benjamin Lee
There’s something rather dusty about The Promise as George pushes his characters through a string of soapy machinations that feel incredibly familiar.
58
The Film Stage - Jordan Ruimy
If George set his sights on capturing the effects of this tragic stain in history rather than love-making, we might have gotten a drama worthy of the talent involved.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
The event-stuffed screenplay seems frightened of the running time associated with historical romances, though, excising any occasion for reflection or distraction; as a result, the picture moves with a mechanical predictability that would be considerably more annoying with a less watchable cast in front of us.
50
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
The Promise, despite its battles, its vivid recreation of the last days of Constantinople (renamed Istanbul), its historical sweep,despite a very good cast, never feels “epic” and rarely do its romantically drawn characters draw us into their romance and their tragedy.
40
Screen International - Tim Grierson
Terry George buries a worthy subject in a stuffy story of unrequited love and selfless heroism that gives off a strong scent of mustiness.
