Christian K @ckacar Jan 10 Scattered narrative trying to draw impact from multiple major events over a 30 year period. But since I only spent maybe 3 scenes total with Edward I don't really care that he died on the titanic (which was a funny reveal). See more D B. @Honor Jan 5 Well done. Thought provoking… See more ChrisCSH H @RT12343453 Apr 7 While cavalcade has the sense and grand aura of being a major Academy award winning picture in reality, it is a good movie for the time because it does have some Epic grand scale moments that takes place throughout the picture along with brilliant acting and great direction, but it still makes you feel like During that time other pictures that were nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards were more deserving for best picture than cavalcade. But all in all it is a good film that has some grand epic moments. See more J. M. P @RT83639792 02/08/2025 Cavalcade (1933) has a nice premise for the story. I enjoy the overall idea behind the movie. However, the characters are hard to connect with. Multiple story arcs spring up and die off, and the only connection between them is their family ties. With little background for the characters, it becomes hard to appreciate them. Transitions are rough, and one must make assumptions about the character's background. Character development is hardly touched on, so the characters remain static throughout the movie. See more harwee h @RT06454255 12/23/2023 Up there amongst the worst best picture winners. But this movie gives you a glimpse of the academy and the public's cinematic taste at that time. Definitely a movie that is of its time, overly nationalistic in romanticizing the british empire, and from the lens of the upper class at that.

It featured an all British cast and traced the lives of the British Upper Class Marryot from an 1899 NYE celebration through the sinking of the Titanic, WW 1, the 1920s, the Depression and up to a second NYE celebration in 1932. The effects of good and bat times and world events on the family's lives were chronicled (wartime, death of the Queen, husband's knighthood, loss of one son on the Titanic and another in WW 1) See more Read all reviews
