Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Remarkably it doesn't feel at all disjointed: Grémillon shifts fluidly between styles, the film flowing like a piece of music. Rated: 4/4 Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Erin Blackwell Bay Area Reporter I'd recommend seeing anything Constance Talmadge is in because she's totally nuts, I mean she's a subtle comic genius who transcends gender, as geniuses will.

Audience Member Based on the year it was made, this is a masterpiece. My only disappointment is the original score is lost. Without words, the story can be delivered superbly. Everything you see is important. Every frame of the film is crucial. The characters are simple and effective. Incredible to see it on a big screen. I am happy to see the cinema is full too. Films like this don't come by easily. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
