The Cut Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Vanessa H. Larson
Akin uses a visually compelling yet sober, almost restrained, aesthetic that differs from the more full-throttle approach of some of his previous work.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Despite its visual beauty and Rahim's extraordinary, and silent, performance, the film never quite manages to connect on an emotional level.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Bombardment of images resonates from Holocaust films. . .Powerful travelogue visuals almost overwhelm the enormity of Armenian genocide and the cross-continental diaspora.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Akin has mischievously called the movie a western, and his wide-screen photography gives a sweeping sense of the vast distances separating the hero from his girls.
Newcity
Ray Pride
[Akin] is s a resourceful collector of the sounds and sensations of the contemporary world... but there are only a few vividly imagined moments in [this] muted, somber passage...
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Those with a greater patience for streamlined, propulsive storytelling will be rewarded with a riveting saga of parental determination and historical horror.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The Cut is a haunting movie, but there are times when one wonders whether Akin should go more for the emotional jugular, rub our faces in the monstrosity he's depicting.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The aftermath of the Armenian genocide should have more emotional resonance than is the case with this muddled and superficial period epic.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
"The Cut" is not an optimistic film, but it presents a scenario rich enough to make you want to be optimistic.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
This depiction could be seen as an allegory of the millions who have been displaced by the Syrian war and continue to fight for their survival as refugees.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
The journey is brutal, and at over two hours it's exhausting. But it's a story that needs to be told.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Too many scenes feel routine or cliched, sometimes even those depicting extreme experiences.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
The hostility directed to this immensely powerful film by RT critics is probably a function of writing for the commercial press that prefers Adam Sandler junk. For those with a heart, this is not to be missed.
AV Club
Nick Schager
The Armenian genocide and its aftermath are filtered through the eyes of a featureless man in The Cut, Turkish director Fatih Akin's laborious latest.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
This epic of genocide, exile, and fortitude offers raw emotion and marvelous vistas - and is also a demanding sit, as epics of genocide and exile probably should be.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Armenian blacksmith cast adrift by World War I searches for his family in an ambitious but flawed period epic.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
Fatih Akin falls back on convenience and contrivance to streamline the thornier specificities of his grand-scale narrative.
Slant Magazine
Elise Nakhnikian
The film is suffused with feeling and studded with memorable moments, but it sometimes feels frustratingly overlong or episodic.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
The world has waited a long time for a major film that gets to the heart of one of the worst-reported atrocities of the 20th Century. Guess we're going to have to wait a bit longer.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
An ambitious but only intermittently stirring historical epic from Turkish-German director Fatih Akin.
