The Jazz Singer (1927) 77% EDIT “The story is good and the caste has been well selected. Al Jolson has a marvellous voice, and everyone will enjoy his performance. It is not possible, however, to form a definite judgment of talking films from The Jazz Singer.” – The Spectator Feb 24, 2021 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) 98% EDIT “No film yet produced has depicted the horror and waste of war more forcibly.” – The Spectator Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Dawn (1928) EDIT “Miss Sybil Thorndike's performance is perfect, and the acting of the minor characters is on the same high level.” – The Spectator Jan 11, 2019 Full Review The Circus (1928) 97% EDIT “The Circus is a magnificent film -- a mental tonic and a good hour's physical exercise. No one should miss it.” – The Spectator Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Chang (1927) 94% EDIT “The cinema has here brilliantly fulfilled a part for which it is better fitted than any other artistic medium. No book, painting, musical impression or circus could give so adequate and vivid a picture of the jungle.” – The Spectator May 8, 2018 Full Review Rango (1931) EDIT “Unfortunately, the film has been fitted out with an insipid and superfluous prologue and a spasmodic running commentary.” – The Spectator May 8, 2018 Full Review Blackmail (1929) 88% EDIT “Blackmail is a better combination of the silent motion picture technique and the talkie technique than any other film we have seen.” – The Spectator May 8, 2018 Full Review Sunrise (1927) 98% EDIT “There is nothing so very original about this rather sentimental plot, but the manner of its presentation is a welcome innovation.” – The Spectator May 8, 2018 Full Review Peasant Women of Ryazan (1927) EDIT “A well- produced non-propaganda film, which might quite well be shown in London.” – The Spectator Mar 15, 2018 Full Review The Eleventh Year (1928) EDIT “I found it difficult to follow as there were no sub-titles for my interpreter to interpret for me, and we seemed to jump from the top of a crane to the pit of a coal mine with no obvious sequence.” – The Spectator Mar 13, 2018 Full Review October (1928) 92% EDIT “No book, picture or play could have given a more realistic impression of those days of bloodshed and horror: one was literally exhausted by the emotions experienced in watching it, for there was no light relief and the realism was relentlessly sustained.” – The Spectator Mar 13, 2018 Full Review The End of St. Petersburg (1928) 75% EDIT “The Russians have certainly an eye for significant and symbolical detail in their cinema production.” – The Spectator Mar 13, 2018 Full Review
