Pluskylang Great Film overall
Rpgcatech Disapointment
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ben Dooley Just for any researcher trawling the web for infoabout this film I can tell you that it about or contains incest. I found this in an article on Americancensorship from October 1930, in the British film magazine Close Up. The critic was expressingbemusement at the fact that this film was allowed to be shown in America while the Soviet film Village of Sin was banned, based on the claim that 'it doesn't happen here'. The American critic's point was that American films get away with more than foreign films in the US because of the US fear of 'insidious foreign propaganda'.
