Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 8/10 by Richard BrodyThe psychological subtlety of the silent cinema owes much to a complex visual grammar that D. W. Griffith employed to tell surprisingly old-fashioned stories.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffGriffith has handled the picture in the same masterly way that he usually has things done.
User Review - 8/10 by Aditya MI don't imagine women-centric films were the norm in 1919, so this came as a pleasant surprise to me. There's nothing revolutionary about the story, but it's quite touching, and there is even a good bit of dry humour in the word cards. The quaint outdatedness of the presentation, in addition to the bewitching soundtrack, lends a magical air to the film. The acting is very good, led by a fine Lillian Gish performance. Quite a good watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Steve GMy only issue is that scenes can drag a little unnecessarily long at times. The nuance in some of the acting is serendipitous. Quite a lovely story. Maybe my favorite feature-length film from the 1910s. We seem to know how it will sentimentally end, but worth experiencing. What a profoundly great female heroine, if not the greatest. A sweet film.
User Review - 8/10 by Spencer PA hugely sentimental though also resonating silent film that rings with a timeless story.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael TSimplistic and endearing; an excellent chance to see what made Gish & Griffith so successful.
User Review - 8/10 by Emily OThe protagonist in True Heart Suzie is regularly credited with pioneering subtle acting in front of the camera, as opposed to sweeping, dramatic acting of theater players attempting to transition to the new medium. In some parts of the film, it's a little difficult to believe, given today's films with high definition technology, more sophistication, and able to catch every nuance in an actor's face. Compared to earlier films, however, miss Suzie is quite the refined actress. The story centers on True Heart Suzie, who sells her cow in the name of love to send her neighbor boy, William, to college. When he eventually returns, Suzie is heartbroken to find that he has (and marries) a modern young lady named Bettina. Through Bettina's propensity for partying and enjoying pursuits away from her more mild-mannered husband, she eventually becomes ill and dies. Susie and William end up getting married afterwards, and it's happily ever after for True Heart Suzie, proving that true love can eventually conquer anything, even another marriage. The film is a simple country love story, and it reminded me a little bit of the children's tale of the city and the country mouse. When William goes off to college, he's blinded somewhat by the city and returns with a city girl. Eventually, through pain and suffering, he finds what's been waiting in the country for him all along, and he finds a different kind of happiness with the girl who's loved him all her life. True Heart Susie is a little bit boring, a little bit cute, and a little bit heartbreaking (especially when Susie discovers William's engagement). A lovely film to watch and a nice break from nonstop action flicks of today.
User Review - 6/10 by David SDense guy can't see how devoted his plain friend is in Griffith's melodrama. It's better than that description sounds, but it also stretches the limits of one's patience.
User Review - 6/10 by Martin TSimplistic storytelling and outmoded sexual politics. I'm not doubting Griffith's talent as a filmmaker. But even if he was ahead of his time cinematically, his puritanical attitudes seem dated even by 1919 standards. His soapbox approach to cinema really bugs me, using his movies to shove his values down your throat. Few hands are heavier. I kept rooting for bad girl Bettina, because William was such a crashing bore and Susie was such a doormat idiot. Nonetheless, it is at least mildly entertaining fare, well-paced, well-shot and well-acted.
