Variety Staff Variety This is a fascinating picture. Going there expecting a rather tiresome piece of "uplift" propaganda, the reviewer came away inspired, and the audience was with him in that mood. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review NYT Staff New York Times All through the photoplay there is symbolism, and some of it is impressive and peculiar to the power of motion pictures. And, let it be repeated, the story, as a story, grips and holds the interest as few photo stories do. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review New York Post Staff New York Post The film is undoubtedly impressive and gripping, and holds the interest at all times. Nov 9, 2020 Full Review Julian Johnson Photoplay Miss Keller herself is a marvel of intuition and mechanical perfection, but I think the story, the human interest, is almost spoiled by the enormous amount of propaganda so unnecessarily inserted into the last reels. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Harriette Underhill New York Tribune Of course, every one knows in a general way that, though lacking sight, the power to hear, or speak, Helen Keller became one of the best educated women in the world, but one cannot realize enormousness of that task until one has seen the journey. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Wid Gunning The Film Daily It contains also much of the beautiful philosophy that already has been given the world through Miss Keller's works, and often visualizes her dreams.

Deborah B I have always been a fan of “The Miracle Worker “, but the silent version included Helen herself, which gave me a greater understanding and appreciation of this amazing woman and her faithful teacher and companion, Anne Sullivan. I am also a big fan of silent movies, so that was a bonus. I have since been obsessed with the history of Helen Keller and have not only learned much about her but also about the history of the disabled. I highly recommend this version of her life.
