If you are not moved at the scene of Gish baptizing her dead baby, then you should check the obituaries of your local paper to see if you are listed.

Through his star, Lillian Gish, Griffith gives the story an emotional power that lifts this 1920 silent feature to the level of a folktale; it becomes something simple, strong, and timeless.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 5/5 --
Justly celebrated for the climactic sequence where Gish, drifting unconscious on a raft of ice in a storm, is rescued by Barthelmess, the film offers many less obvious moments that are just as memorable.

Radio Times
With the gathering together of a relatively small cast and less than half a dozen stellar film artists, D.W. has taken a simple, elemental, old-fashioned, bucolic melodrama and milked it for 12 reels of absorbing entertainment.

Variety
It is difficult to write of this latest picture without dealing almost entirely in superlatives. Lillian Gish has discovered new ways of making you love her, and surely no one else could make that wishy-washy Anna Moore a real person!

New York Tribune
One of Griffith's most rousing visions of film as visual-emotional ebb and flow, connection and rupture

Description by OLDIES.com:
Lillian Gish stars as a naive country girl tricked into marrying a wealthy womanizer in this classic from the silent era. Richard Barthelmess also stars in this stirring melodrama. Director D.W. Griffith's groundbreaking epic style is enhanced, as always, by his longtime cinematographer G.W. Bitzer. The climactic scene that takes place on an ice flow is one of the most memorable moments in movie history.
