Review of True Heart Susie (1919) by Aditya M — 09 Jun 2016

I don't imagine women-centric films were the norm in 1919, so this came as a pleasant surprise to me. There's nothing revolutionary about the story, but it's quite touching, and there is even a good bit of dry humour in the word cards.

The quaint outdatedness of the presentation, in addition to the bewitching soundtrack, lends a magical air to the film. The acting is very good, led by a fine Lillian Gish performance. Quite a good watch.
