By the standards of Armenian cinematograph, this film is a masterpiece. Although there was not enough of Komitas for me in the film about Komitas. There was not enough of his music, his life. You need to understand that, despite the title, the film is mainly about the Genocide. But I can understand this, because in the film the story is told by his friend, who has not had a chance to see Komitas's entire life. The film is quite emotional, like almost any film dealing with the Genocide theme. Filmed very beautifully. Great acting, great camera work. The musical accompaniment is obviously delightful, it's Komitas after all.

In general, I obviously recommend the film to be watched, because such works should not go unnoticed.

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.

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.

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.

A heartfelt story about a musical genius that unfolds amid the tragic events that took place a century ago.

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!

An intriguing story of a young man with an exceptional gift for music but a tragic life.

Truly a brilliant depiction of the life of Komitas and his compositions. This is a beautifully told story of a remarkable man who had to endure many hardships throughout his life including witnessing the Armenian genocide.

Amazing work showcasing the musical genius of Komitas (aka Solomon, an Armenian priest) intertwined with the historical tragic events of the 1915 Armenian genocide.

This is a must see! Absolutely Phenomenal!! Make sure to watch it!

Amazing movie, historically accurate, amazing acting, makes you feel like you're living with them & thru them. This movie will change how you view the world. So fitting with the present tumultuous climate in the caucuses. The human aspect is on full display in this movie.

Be prepared to be taken on an emotional soul-enriching and fulfilling journey of the Armenian people's history!

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 !

Based on true events.... this amazing move will take you through an emotional roller-coaster. You will experience feelings, and learn about the atrocities that were committed to an amazing, fun, cultured and loving group of people.

The way they portrayed the story of komitas was was perfect and it's crazy that it was true story of one the saddest moments of human history

Indeed a wonderful movie and the story touches every ones heart, a must watch, I mean A MUST WATCH :)

If you haven't seen this movie, then you're missing out! The story is told from a historically accurate point of view but expressed in such a poetic, artistic way. Will definitely win an award!

It touched my heart, beautifully made piece. I would recommend all my friends to watch it

I cannot wait to watch this movie because Komitas life was sad but very inspiring.

Must watch!!! Truly inspiring. What a wonderful tribute to Komitas!!

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!

The story of an artist, composer and priest who stayed forever in history. The story of Armenian genocide in 1915 which should never be forgotten. Learn history and enjoy the magnificent music of Komits.

WOW WOW WOW Interesting and based on true facts!!! Loved the trailer can't wait to watch it.

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.

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!
