Ozus' World Movie Reviews
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
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.

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

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

leaves us far more memorable montages than anything that modern copycat filmmakers have created

Old School Reviews
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.

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.
