RTNew York TimesOct 17, 2016

Aimed straight for the gooseflesh, it strikes directly into the centre of the target.

Despite featuring a notable performance by Brigitte Helm, it is a conventional and rather dull silent melodrama of late German expressionism. [Full review in Spanish]

It eventually bogs down in conventional melodrama, but the stylish production shows German studio craftsmanship at its peak.

E

The acting is not only artistic, it is also as realistic as can be possible in such a film.
