The Struggle Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
One of the greatest directors who ever lifted a megaphone, David Wark Griffith was 56 when he made this, his last movie, and it is a shame that he had to bow out with such a dud.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One of his most powerful and intensely felt works -- not merely a heartbreaking story and a portrait of the Depression at its grimmest, but a poignant summary of everything that Griffith could do with a camera.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Griffith doesn't cloak the story's creakiness, he faces it head-on and erects images to embody and purify its emotions.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
D. W. Griffith's last film, a crude, grim, grotesquely sentimental melodrama about an alcoholic's degradation, fits into the rare category of films that are great but not really very good.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Today it's best viewed as a fascinating curio, brought down by its wooden acting and grim, hokey tale of woe.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Neither Miss Loos, Mr. Emerson nor Mr. Griffith can be said to have accomplished anything particularly novel by this screen work.
