NYT Staff New York Times 07/25/2020
This second Carmen is an example of excellent motion picture photography, buti ts scenario... is loose and vague, and Miss Bara seems very mechanically seductive when compared, as she must be, with Geraldine Farrar. Go to Full Review Joshua Lowe Variety 07/25/2020
It just misses being a masterpiece. Go to Full Review Age Staff The Age (Australia) 07/25/2020
Of the acting of Theda Bara this only can be said. She has invested the character with a potency that makes one forget the film part of the business. This Carmen is not the opera Carmen; it is the living realisation of Merimee's original heroine. Go to Full Review James Warren Currie Chicago Examiner 09/04/2020
Not a single detail which contributes to realism has been neglected. Thrill follows thrill in endless procession. Go to Full Review Heywood Broun New York Tribune 07/25/2020
In fact, the scenes throughout, considered solely as scenes, are handled with much skill, but there is a great deal to be desired in the presentation of the story. Much of the scenario is murky. Go to Full Review W. Stephen Bush Moving Picture World 07/25/2020
What I liked best about the production were its settings and its direction. The latter was by no means faultless. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
