4/5
"Falconetti burns (no pun intended) as the tortured young woman -- if only the rest of the movie could keep up with her and the cinematography."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

96/100
"I fell in to a burning ring of fire"  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

4/4
"Perhaps one of the most intricate and powerful achievements of the silent era."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

A+
"This is one of the most memorable films ever made."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"It is Falconetti's transcendent work that raises the film above the level of even the most lauded films in the canon. Jeanne is a hypnotic, shimmering masterpiece, and Falconetti's performance is largely responsible for that."  TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)  Rick Curnutte

A+
"In this film Joan again stands accused, and her long silences and simple answers continue to frustrate and confound."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
