An almost epic love story that waste its historical potential. [Full review in Spanish]

It's all very tasteful, if not terribly exciting.

Ali & Nino looks extravagant and beautiful. The romance can be simple, sweet, and lovely at times, but it does fall a bit on the melodramatic side.

Rating: 3/5 --
A love story between a Muslim and an Eastern Orthodox believer that is also a history lesson about oil-rich Azerbaijan.

... feels like a throwback in terms of its sweeping visual style, but isn't dramatically compelling to match.

"Ali and Nino" aspires to epicness and comes pretty close to getting there.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
While Bakri and Valverde are nice looking performers, too much of their time on-screen consists of gazing at each other with silly, smitten smiles.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Set against the sweeping tide of history, this is the breathtaking tale of a romance that crosses political, geographic, and religious divides. Azerbaijan, 1918: though he is Muslim and she is Christian, Ali (Adam Bakri) and Nino (Maria Valverde) defy their parents and marry. At first it appears that their all-consuming love will be enough to overcome the differences in their backgrounds. But their bond is soon put the test, first as she confronts what it means to be a westernized woman living in a traditionalist society, and then again when everything they know is turned upside down by the arrival of World War I. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) from a script by Atonement screenwriter Christopher Hampton, Ali and Nino transports viewers to a land of awe-inspiring beauty and a time of great upheaval. With Mandy Patinkin.
