Sunrise over Lake Van (2011) User Reviews

Not good, unfortunately

[r96sk · 5/10 · 22 March 2022]

'Sunrise over Lake Van' is very mundane.

It features a couple of nicely shot bits, some solid use of flashbacks and a pleasant end few scenes but the vast majority of this 2011 release is very plain and poorly paced. On paper it's a good story, but in reality it's kinda difficult to keep watching - and that's with it only lasting for around 95 minutes. Not good, unfortunately.

disappointment

The film is quite boring and indeed silly. I do appreciate the attempt to revive the Armenian genocide question, but I believe it should be done in a more descent way.

What I disliked in this movie:

The poor play of the actors (except maybe the main character); sporadic sorrowful scenes not well suited to the story line; bringing up sexual themes every now and then; idiotic character of the grandson; soundtrack is not good

I was quite embarrassed to watch the film (could only watch first 15 minutes). Sorry for the bad review, but I think we must be more self-critical. p.s. I'm Armenian.
