Orphans of the Storm is real Griffith material, worked up at moments to the point of hysteria, but always interesting. The photography is especially good.

Dorothy Gish is the blind girl, and this step from comedienne roles into a role of unlimited emotional possibilities reveals new capabilities in the less famous of the two Gish girls.

Orphans of the Storm is a stirring, gripping picture.

Its historical melodrama about injustice and class struggle is captivating to me because it never loses its sense of epicness during the two and a half hours that it lasts, set in the context of the French Revolution. [Full review in Spanish]
