I had the pleasure of watching this touching movie about Komitas, an Armenian composer touched by the ugliness that befell his people in the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. I hope it earns the Oscar.

Can't wait to watch the whole movie

I saw the short clip and felt emotional since Armenians live with the pain of the Armenian Genocide that took place in 1915. Until this day Turkeys are killing Armenians. I'm excited to see this movie and for all my non Armenian friends to see it with me.
Phenomenal Story Telling

This is a must watch for anyone. The film circles around Komitas, an armenian priest, music composure, taking place from the late 1880s to the horrific events of the 1915 Armenian genocide. The way the director went about filming this movie was amazing.
No wonder it made to the Oscars!

I am so happy to see a movie made about Komitas, it is an incredible homage. His life is very interesting and he accomplished so much. I understand now why Armenians idolize him. Brilliant movie. Touching movie and kept me entertained the whole time. Armenian music is beautiful!

It's so refreshing to see things that are based on truth ... finally a truthful account of the global atrocities perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire... the cultural side of the genocide ... since it's based on true events it's absolutely heartbreaking to see all this but facts must me spread and truth must come to light !
One of the best films of the year!

What a lovely ode to a such a true and raw talent. This movie is inspired by true events and tells the life of Komitas and his work. Knowing it's based on true events, it's a lot to take in watching his upbringing as an
orphan and the time in which he grew up and the hardships he faced that we cannot fathom today. It was hard at times to watch the atrocities he (and countless others) lived through as an Armenian man during a time of mass genocide against himself and his people. Highly recommend!
Simply wonderful

Amazing movie about the history of an entire culture and people that once there was an attempt to be destroyed. The film is about one of the music geniuses that is known, and his music is being taught in so many European music schools. The voices and pictures are so real to me, and i think the director did a great job trying to picture the life back then. Nothing is surreal in the movie except it could be more violent to picture the events better.
Amazing!

Superb performances all around, with themes that resonate
zhanna-9846221 December 2020
A story about a beautiful childhood friendship of Komitas Vardabet who was an Armenian composer, ethnomusicologist and priest, who lived during the years of the Armenian Genocide. This movie depicts his tragic lifestory and his beautiful music. If you never heard his music, you are missing out. Search it on YouTube - Sergey Khachatryan - Komitas, and give it a listen. Then enjoy this great film!
