As this extravagant, wickedly ironic 1928 melodrama shows, Erich von Stroheim was not only a supreme (if typecast) actor but one of the greatest silent-era directors.

Richard Brody, New Yorker
Fresh

One of the most eccentric and fascinating vanity projects in the history of film.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

Because of what they are called upon to do and not because of the performances of the players the characters are not much more human than a troupe of Robots.

Mordaunt Hall, New York Times

It is the love scenes, played beneath shimmering apple blossoms in lyrical soft focus, that stick in the memory, ironically turning what is now the film's ending into one of the director's most bitterly pessimistic scenes.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh

Even minor Stroheim is considerably better than most other filmmakers' major work.
