Movie Reviews

Orlando Weekly - 9/10 by Steve SchneiderValentino and Swanson display the confident way with expression and gesture that silent stars had to develop to project their intentions in the absence of audio, but little about the film is especially over the top.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzMore interesting as a reflection of what passed as a great romantic melodrama than it is as actually a great classic.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Eric MonderA great example of the burgeoning star system at work and a form of diversion that delighted audiences in earlier times.
New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottA marvelously overripe 1922 silent melodrama starring Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino.
Lessons of Darkness - 7/10 by Nick SchagerA ravishing example of the incandescent grandeur of Swanson and Valentino.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonBeyond the Rocks is not the world's greatest movie, but the fact that it exists at all makes it one of the most exciting DVDs of 2006.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley PThe story behind the restoration of this film is enough to astound me, let alone all the massive scenes they must have had to set up to achieve this film (for the era). Clearly a rich classic and well-humored...and Rudolph Valentino is a stud.
User Review - 10/10 by Elizabeth SWhile the prodigious accoutrements of Gloria Swanson prove to be somewhat distracting, a thoughtful story line of sacrifice, told with refreshingly simple scenario, is moving. However, the true splendor of this movie is the poignant milieu defined by the music of Henny Vrienten. The masterful soundtrack truly adds depth to an ordinary yet engaging tale of romance.
User Review - 8/10 by Mike LOne of the best rediscovered silent movies. Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino make a great pair in this classic!
User Review - 8/10 by Elise SA lost silent film till it was found back a few years ago in a private collection in my small country. The Nederlands Filmmuseum enabled us to see this film. When they found it it was in such a bad state only one minute of it was watchable. They restored the whole film and it looks wonderful when you consider that the former owner didn't do anything to keep it in good state. What a work it must have been to restore it! It was worth it, though. Valentino and Swanson don't have a lot of chemistry, but they still make a very nice couple. They make the film, that has a simple plot, very enjoyable. What was a bit weird, though, was the music that came with the restoration. It was nice, but in my opinion to modern for a film made in 1922. There are also sound effects. These are quite irritable and once came so unexpected, that it scared the hell out of me. Still, I'm very greatfull the Nederlands Filmmuseum restored it. It's a film
