Rating: B+ -- An arty experimental pic filled with rousing spectacles and intellectual montages. Full Review

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. Full Review

Much of the montage is reductive and static, but some of the action scenes are genuinely stirring -- when he wasn't editorializing, the man really could cut film. Full Review

Few films are as full of cinematographic suggestions as October, still admirable today. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Though indisputably dazzling (and wearying) in its cinematics and its display of Eisenstein's pioneering editing techniques, October is simplistic propaganda. Full Review

Rating: B -- leaves us far more memorable montages than anything that modern copycat filmmakers have created Full Review

Somewhat hard to watch today, but still worth a look if only to wonder at the impressive and masterful way in which Eistenstein uses the camera. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

In documentary style, events in Petrograd are re-enacted from the end of the monarchy in February of 1917 to the end of the provisional government. This classic is a startlingly filmed and remarkably staged piece of cinema. Silent with orchestral score.
