Reception

In a 1925 review for The New York Times, Mordaunt Hall referred to the play Minick and wrote, "while this narrative in shadow form still possesses an inevitable undertone of sympathy, it misses fire in some important periods through an obvious fondness for exaggeration and a tendency to ignore opportunities for suspense or subtlety, which is surprising as this picture was directed by the able and versatile James Cruze."^[5] A 1925 review for Time Magazine noted "Significant character study is the hardest thing to find in the cinema," and stated "The subtleties of old age in the middle classes escaped even the directorial discernment of James Cruze."^[6]
