| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film pays homage to the long history of film. |
| User ReviewJack GAnother surreal dream-state film of early cinema but this time from 'The Great Train Robbery' director Edwin S. Porter proving that as much of an innovator of editing techniques as he was, he could also provide a rather good standard of cinematographic trickery. |
| User ReviewIan FA short but sweet early cinematic effort, Rarebit Fiend is pretty simple in structure but is filled to the brim with impressive technical effects. Impressive work for its day. |
| User ReviewJonathan SSome interesting effects, but nothing that cool to see, visually. |
