What makes it different from others?

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Best movie ever!

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I found "The Cut" to be quite an amazing film. The story is epic almost biblical and unforgettable. Through the horrors of the Armenian genocide a few acts of humanity make all the difference. It's probably not the best film for the flapjack eating simpleton but if you can handle subtitles, respect other cultures and appreciate profound human experience, pick this one up. It certainly beats the prepackaged, formula, market tested, predictable hogwash vomited out of Hollywood year after year.

As if the director is trying to purposefully demoralize the Armenians.Armenian women preferred to kill themselves and threw themselves from cliffs to protect their dignity. The exact opposite of what the movie shows. In the movie, one girl at the camp in Ras-Al-Ain says I'll do anything take me out of here.Armenian prayer sounds like "balbalbalbal"? Seriously? and the turks would've let the Armenian priest maintain his bible and pray on route?!Nazareth and Krikor watch an Armenian woman wash herself in Aleppo? Seriously; men who had just lost their wives and daughters, and witnessed them getting raped, would go to a whore-house?!Armenian music and songs are so poor that there is only one song and it's Janoi, Janoi, Janoi, Jan?Armenians went to great lengths in rejoining families and rescuing abducted girls and orphans... there are real stories about that. Why Cuba and Minneapolis, what's the hidden agenda behind those?

Not a movie for every ones taste, because this movie is quite hard stuff because it's content is about a genocide. In some of the scenes i got goosebumps because of the emotional character of the scenes (especially when Armenians got killed or when the protagonist had to kill his sister in law, when he was angry about "god"). The finding of his child in the 2nd part of the film was a little bit sluggish, but also these sluggish scenes created an atmosphere how hard it was to find his daughters. Like my forerunner said, for my taste it had been a good movie and it is NOT for everyone's taste. If you like Science-Fiction or would like to watch a cuddle movie, don't watch this one.

Despite some things that could have been made better or, lets say, different, it was a very good film. And it had an optimistic touch to it: A brave mans journey throughout the continents to seek his lost daughters. And really no one would want to watch a 2 hour snuff film only describing the genocide, for that you can watch documentaries about it.The scene in the movie theater with the Chaplin film running was very powerful. That alone was worth 10/10 for me. It shows the huge impact that moving pictures have on us. Movies can help to deal with real things in the world and thats what Akin has done with his film about the genocide.For Turks "The Cut" holds the message, that no one needs be afraid of their history, since even some Turks helped Armenians during the genocide (not only in this fictional movie). Sidenote: Not only Armenians very targeted with that genocide, that could have been at least referenced in the film.About the ratings in general: I stopped paying attention to ratings at IMDb and other sites some time ago, because they are made by many people and many critics. And....well, most people have a bad taste. At least it doesn't match mine :). There are lots of good series and movies out there apart from for example "The Wire" or "Dr. Strangelove". They just have a bad rating for some reason or are not popular and not hyped.
