We can smell the rancid coats of paint on this attempt to whitewash history.

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.

"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.

Punch Drunk Critics
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.

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
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]

A historical romance that has little value either historically or romantically.

Flick Filosopher
Odious propagandistic attempt to enshrine Turkish denial of the Armenian genocide of World War I into cinematic history via a tepid and unconvincing romance.

There isn't much of a script here.

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

A near-constant flow of clichés.

Hollywood Reporter
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.
