Our take

This artfully simple—yet utterly lovely—story from early cinema pioneer D.W. Griffith is a truly ravishing gift that highlights the talents of his muse, Lillian Gish. A tender, emotionally rich melodrama of sacrifice and love, True Heart Susie is one of the most flawless American films ever made.
