Kitty Kelly Chicago Tribune 11/20/2020
The photography is not of the quality to which we are accustomed in these days of the art of the photoplay. Go to Full Review
Joshua Lowe Variety 11/20/2020
The big battle scenes were remarkably well staged, calling forth volumes of tremendous applause at the premiere. Victor Herbert's Interpretative music aided materially to the general effectiveness. Go to Full Review
Henry Christeen Warnack Los Angeles Times 11/20/2020
It has volume and power of a kind and is generally impressive, but it suggests hasty composition, is lacking in feeling and will add nothing whatever to Victor Herbert's fame as America's foremost composer. Go to Full Review
Ashton Stevens Chicago Examiner 11/20/2020
The first-nighters of the screen appear to not care a tinker's imprecation whether a film battledrama be for war or for peace so long as there is plenty of fighting in it. And believe me when I tell you there was fighting a-plenty in The Fall of a Nation. Go to Full Review

[Thomas Dixon] should be highly commended for giving us a film of the propaganda type that is entertaining. The Fall of a Nation holds one's attention all the time. Go to Full Review
Julian Johnson Photoplay 11/20/2020
It is not good entertainment because it is neither original nor spectacular. At this writing, twelve hours after witnessing the display, it is impossible to recall one battle scene. Go to Full Review
