As ever, Egoyan assembles a devoted repertory cast, including Christopher Plummer.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

Until its final moments this almost great movie feels as if it's racing against itself in a neck-and-neck battle between its troubled heart and its egg-shaped head. The heart wins by a nose.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

This is a heartfelt piece, and while passion alone can't carry a movie, it sure helps. Ararat is uneven because Egoyan couldn't tell it smoothly.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Egoyan's oblique, layered attack ultimately pays off, evoking a strong emotional connection between past and present, the historical and the personal, in a flowing, cinematic manner in collaboration with his frequent cameraman, Paul Sarossy. The film makes use of an intoxicating array of Armenian music.Full Review
