Wendy Ide Times (UK) A 1927 silent film featuring recreations of two of the key naval conflicts of the First World War, The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands is a fascinating piece of war history. Rated: 4/5 Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) This recently restored 1920s British war film is a revelation -- a silent movie that, for all its jingoism, is shot and edited on a scale and with an ingenuity that invokes memories of the great Soviet silent movies. Rated: 4/5 Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It has enormous confidence and artistry, and the comparison with Sergei Eisenstein is justified.
