while there may be no completely dispassionate way to discuss its topic - the Armenian genocide - the film's balance of emotion and composure helps make its stories even stronger
it's not just a film you will feel obliged to watch out of horror at what it depicts, but a film that genuinely fascinates throughout, such is the breadth of thought contained within it
director Joe Berlinger uniquely explores this complex, disturbing issue by embedding with the production of "The Promise," Terry George's sweeping romantic drama set against the events of the Armenian genocide
