The Ottoman Lieutenant
Running time: 130 mins
Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones), Hera Hilmar (Anna Karenina), Josh Hartnett (Penny Dreadful), and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) star in an epic romance. Strong-willed Lillie (Hilmar), frustrated by ongoing injustice at home, leaves the United States after meeting Jude (Hartnett), an American doctor who runs a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire. However, Lillies loyalty to Jude is soon tested when she finds herself at odds with the missions founder, Woodruff (Kingsley), and she falls in love with their perceived enemy, a lieutenant (Huisman) in the Ottoman Imperial Army. Superbly directed by Joseph Ruben (Sleeping with the Enemy) from a script by Jeff Stockwell (The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys), The Ottoman Lieutenant paints a moving portrait about maintaining our humanity and our heart, even under dire circumstances.
