      Audience Member There are two historical things that make this worth watching: the fact that it's often considered the first real narrative full-length film, and that it's emotional storyline made a real-world impact on Swedish social security laws. Otherwise, it's largely a melodramatically sad slog with a few great moments (hiding Ingeborg in the floor). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review andrey k An early narrative feature, absolutely not dated and relevant today, with touching story and tremendous believable acting. And that is 1913! Just watch those clever frame compositions, this feature genuinely looks like a movie picture even though theatricality was the main thing in cinema back then. It's a personal Victor Sjostrom masterstroke and a major achievement for cinema. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Melodramatic, but surprisingly fast-moving and involving. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Early feature from Sjostrom that's still incredibly touching--the last scene in particular is beautiful. Sjostrom demonstrates his pioneering talent in visual storytelling, and, unlike most of his contemporaries, he's quite subtle, telling the story mostly with framing, mis-en-scene, and a great eye for actors and performances. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The Swedes are known for their tremendously sad, brooding cinema, and this early silent film was a precursor to that. It's captivating drama, though, and one of the finer examples of early film acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
