Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 05/24/2019
Ambition overtakes ways and means in "The Lumber Baron," a fusty and unpersuasive if well-intentioned drama about the American logging industry circa 1910 that has "Masterpiece Theatre" aims but far more pedestrian results. Go to Full Review

Frans B @FransB Mar 26 I loved it a lot. Convincing in period correctness, the cast is splendid, writing is on par and great cinematography. Pulls you into the story and make you feel the nuance surrounding the whole plot. Not easy to find fault here, well worth a watch See more devin m Dec 31 Wooden acting, poor script. Just doesn't flow at all. Cannot fathom why it's got 100% on rotten tomatoes. See more Debbie M 03/23/2024 I love period movies, so I loved the costumes, the settings, the stories. They used an actual lumber baron's house and actual sawyer tools. I love the authenticity. See more 08/13/2019 Super fresh! Amazing movie - a MUST watch! See more 06/30/2019 Excellent story! Great scenery. Not sure why it was rated R on Amazon? Definity a family-friendly movie. See more 06/05/2019 I enjoyed the interesting cast of characters. It was nice to see the movie was filmed in several local settings. It was a good film especially considering the low budget. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in local history. There were several plot twists that have inspired me to want to do some historical research to find out if any of it is factual. Some of the logging scenes we're a bit excessive therefore I didn't award 5 stars. See more Read all reviews
