Jeff S @jeffstone 03/08/2024 This one starts slowly and for some of us isn't even that enjoyable at the beginning, but the waiting is worth the time. Bette Davis is especially great in this drama about family, greed, loyalty, and the horrors of war. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 12/15/2023 The acting is dismal. I could not get past how poor the acting was. Ruined movie completely. See more william d @acsdoug 02/26/2023 The story is completely contrived, the dialogue is bereft of any resemblance to normal conversation. The entire project is merely a vehicle for Hellman's virulent anti-fascism. Understandable, given Hellman's politics and the fact it was made during wartime. However, that doesn't make for a very interesting movie. See more 03/20/2022 One of those propaganda movies Hollywood was obligated to churn out. This one's made in '43 but the battlefield is a wealthy household in suburban DC during 1940 or '41, pre-Pearl Harbor. Stilted dialog explains to Americans why Europe's battle is our battle. As a nice period touch, the only blacks in the film are Steppin' Fetchit type servants. See more 05/14/2021 Watch on the Rhine is an extremely touching personal and anti-fascist movie from a Lillian Hellman play. Very moving and remarkably apt even 80 years later See more steve d @RT35616104 07/22/2020 The script is overblown but the performances are strong and the story important. See more Read all reviews
