Reviews

Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
This movie's got everything except gravity or a sense of emotional coherence.

The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
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.
40
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
This well-intentioned, sumptuously shot tale of love and war, directed by Joseph Ruben, lacks the emotional depth and romantic grandeur to fulfill its epic ambitions.
38
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
What we’re left with is a botched romance saddled with an over-arching, over-reaching message, one that only the Turks will be quick to embrace.
37
Washington Post - Stephanie Merry
Morality is hardly the main concern of The Ottoman Lieutenant. Instead, it’s content with hackneyed romance and soaring strings.
