Dorothy Gish is the blind girl, and this step from comedienne roles into a role of unlimited emotional possibilities reveals new capabilities in the less famous of the two Gish girls.

Rating: C+ --
D.W. Griffith, always the showman, set out to make an epic from a story about sisters in trouble.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Orphans of the Storm is a stirring, gripping picture.

New York Times
While the director's handling of humour (clumsy) and pathos (heavily milked) demands some generosity from the audience, the eternal radiance of Lillian Gish shines through everything.

Time Out
Enjoyable silent drama built around touching performances by the Gish sisters, some spectacular action sequences, and Griffith's own love of a rattling good yarn.

[T]he sheer amount of realized ambition on display in it makes it a sight to behold.

If some other director had produced it, it would be an astonishing picture. Perhaps it is still an astonishing picture, but the astonishment is that Griffith should be content to make success out of serving up the French Revolution as deus ex machina.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Lillian and Dorothy Gish star in this D.W. Griffith classic about two sisters caught up in the turmoil of the French revolution. Griffith weaved factual accounts from history into the spellbinding story, which is still fascinating a century after it first moved audiences!
