I gave this 3 3/4/5 stars. it was a little too long, not much dialogue, and very drawn out. however, the orchestral theme was absolutely beautiful/entrancing, as was Lulu's beautiful face. the plot was very suspenseful and creepy but it didn't do it for me. there were a few too many time gaps. it was a beautiful film, interesting, and important to see but its not one of my favorites.

A must see and a trend setter, establishing the bar for sex appeal and substance equally with a melodramatic story from a particular time and place.

Louise Brooks embodies the "flapper" spirit of her Lost Generation in this sexually charged and erotic silent melodrama ahead of its time in its depiction of the divide between men and the feminine psyche. It tragically ends in the Depression setting winter slums of Soho during Christmas time.

This movie is mostly especial because of Louise Brooks, The film itself is very good buy I am not crazy about it.

“Pandora’s Box”, adored by many as a silent film to be so involving and deep but a film ahead of its time. Also, for the film’s portrayals of its characters, its editing and overall storyline. A true Pabst masterpiece when it came to his direction, what shot he wanted but also sticking to his guns to go with erotic silent film icon Louise Brooks. Put this film on your must-watch silent film list! Recommended!

so grateful Pandora's Box finally released on Criterion. Beautiful Louise Brooks in her finest role. Everyone that Lulu meets become smitten by her beauty and free spirit, wanting to possess her in order capture that which they can't have. Sad that her voice was not accepted in "soundies", so her career ended with the silent era.
