Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyBoleslawksi's lavish production of this historical melodrama is best known today as the only film that all three Barrymores (John, Ethel and Lionel) made together.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzIs memorable only because it's the one and only time that the Barrymore family appeared together on screen.
User Review - 10/10 by Delin CThe Barrymore family of two previous generations- Ethel, John, and Lionel take on Russian history as two real players in it and a fictionalized character. Lionel plays Rasputin- in one of the most terrifying characterizations I have ever scene. Ethel plays Empress Alexis, who gets hypnotized by Rasputin in an effort to dethrone Russia. John plays a prince who is instantly suspicious of Rasputin. The movie reads like a play, there is nothing subtle about these performances, but these are the saints of American theatre. If anything, this takes film back to its roots- tell a story in a theatrical reality. The film also does have clips of real footage of Czarist Russia in between acts.
User Review - 6/10 by Ashley HRasputin and the Empress is a mediocre film. It is about the friendship between Rasputin and the Empress Alexandra of Russia. The acting of John, Ethel, Lionel Barrymore is pretty good. The script is okay but could have been better. Richard Boleslawski did a decent job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture but would not see it again.
User Review - 6/10 by Gregory Wnot real historically accurate but a visual feast-as only MGM could do
User Review - 4/10 by Nate TI really wanted to like this film, since I like all of the Barrymores and they were all in this film. However, the script is appalling. and the historical inaccuracies inexcusable. Playing the German national anthem for the Austrian ambassador was just the beginning. Despite the talents of the Barrymores which I respect, here they are all overacting to the point of being ridiculous. When I compare this flick to Nicolas and Alexandra, this film is laughable. To see them at there best, watch Ethel in None but the Lonely Heart, Lionel in Broken Lullaby, and John in The Great Man Votes.
User Review - 4/10 by James HIt supposed to be great historical drama... It came out silly.
