A beautiful story of forgiveness but she should have left him.
A beautiful piece of German expressionism. Murnau's skill shines throughout the film.
Wonderful silent movie about true love and the travails you go to to get there.
A masterpiece. One of the best films of all time. A simple, heartwrenching yet heartwarming story performed with so much emotion and vigor.
Although it’s features beautiful direction, and some impressive visual design for the era, the story and characters still feel a bit dated.
It trades its suspenseful tone for such a beautiful showing of love and affection.
If you like silent film or classic cinema this is in the top 10 of movies you need to watch.
A shockingly dark work for the time, beautifully executed in every sense of beauty in silent cinema.
Most fun movie about matricide for almost 100 years running.
Great example of silent storytelling, made even better if you have prior knowledge of the innovations founded to create this feature.
