The miraculous scenes are adequate in themselves. They hint at the dignity and propriety of this immense resource the films have given us. Go to Full Review
George W. Graves Motography 07/31/2020
Ere the year 1916 has sunk into the past, one more epochal achievement, marking the onward rush of the screen toward loftier planes of attainment, is to be recorded as falling within the space of this remarkable picture twelvemonth. Go to Full Review

05/18/2022 Joan the Woman is Cecil B. DeMille's first epic historical film and quite honestly it wasn't a good one either. While it is appreciated that Mr. DeMille tried his best with the historical accuracy and impressive visuals (especially the scene where Joan is being burned at stake) that deserve praise. However it didn't help when Joan the Woman had some the questionable writing by Jeanie MacPherson and slightly below average direction by DeMille himself that deserve the criticism. It felt like Cecil B. DeMille could of done a little bit better with Joan the Woman. See more @Ebrown 02/07/2019 Our first taste of Demille. For it's time a great epic. Best Hollywood version.

An English WWI soldier finds Joan of Arc's sword and had a vision of fighting the French in Joan's day. The prerequisite ham acting is fully intact. See more 11/27/2010 Una de las primeras cintas de Cecil B. Demille y una de las muchas obras que existen sobre Juana de Arco. Esta en lo particular resume (porque dura escasos 10 minutos) maravillosamente los pasajes más importantes del mito de la santa y en el que Geraldine Farrar está simplemente maravillosa. Inicia pareciendo un sueño o una utopia y termina con algo espectacular y escalofriante digno de analizar hasta sus últimas consecuencias. ¡Gran cinta!

Spectacular battle scenes Joan the Woman stand's times test as an exceptional example of the epic film. See more Read all reviews
