An undeniable sprawling classic. The score, set design, and saga-like story are all top tier. However, it may sprawl just a little too much.
It's Cold War propaganda but still an impressive and epic production
A tour-de-force through early 20th century Russia with several well written and acted characters. Cinema classic if a little tiresome.
Great historical period drama movie, a classic with great acting and story. Worth watching this epic period drama
Effortlessly brilliant on every level - One of Lean's more underappreciated masterpieces and unforgettable in it's look, sound and feel.
A heartbreaking love story through various decades with a very noticeable political bias
It's a good movie, but it just doesn't fully seem to work, and I can't really figure out why.
Lacks some storytelling consistency but the cinematography of ravaged Russia, occasional suspense, and memorable characters will compensate
A classic. Beautiful & tragic. Rich in emotion, romance, and poetry. Brilliant performances by Rod Steiger & Omar Sharif. Too long.
I almost viewed it for three hours as though I was looking at picturesque stills at a museum and not a moving, driven film. Still good film.
