We can smell the rancid coats of paint on this attempt to whitewash history.

I guess the lesson of The Ottoman Lieutenant is simple: If you're gonna make a shameful piece of revisionist propaganda, at least make it entertaining.

The by-the-numbers story never achieves its aimed-for grandeur or intensity, and the striking Turkish locations prove far more interesting than the characters.

What with the mishmash of accents, and Helmar's soporific voiceover, The Ottoman Lieutenant is ludicrous from start to finish.

Movie Talk
"The Ottoman Lieutenant" is an overwrought nurse romance merged with a history lesson, a combination that is hard to take as seriously as the film wants to be taken.

I'm sympathetic to the filmmakers whose craftsmanship went into the movie. Absent historical context this would be adequate light far... but the weak script/dialog and narrative retcon can't be ignored and spoils their efforts.
