David Lean's-Doctor Zhivago-1965

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: One of the most moving romantic movies of all time, Doctor Zhivago is a wonderful cinematic experience. Take time to watch it again, even if you have already seen it.
Review: One of the most romantic epics every filmed, Doctor Zhivago was an immensely popular film in it?s day. Because I had really loved this movie in the theaters, I was afraid to watch it. Frankly I didn?t think it could live up to my memory of it. To my...

"This Isn't Me, Yuri. It's You."

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the greatest epic films ever made, despite some shortcomings in the screenplay.
Review: If your love for Doctor Zhivago is unqualified, you may not enjoy reading this review. For that matter, if your scorn for the film knows no bounds, you probably will find much to disagree with in this review as well. In my opinion, the Academy...

ZZZZZ-ZZZ-ZZ ... ZHIVAGO

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2000
The Bottom Line: A lengthy romance set in pre-revolution Russia stars Omar Sharif and Julie Christie.
Review: DR. ZHIVAGO (1965)

David Lean's movies have some common characteristics: epic themes, big characters, brilliant British actors, vast panoramas, casts of thousands, recurring themes, loving camera work, L-o-o-o-n-g running times. When the...

I?*HATE* Lara?s Theme. Can I tell you how much? No? I'll tell you anyway.

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Watch it if you've never seen it or love someone in the cast. Otherwise, it's not really worth its hype.
Review: I'm a sucker for historical epics, but David Lean's Dr. Zhicago is a key example as to why they went out of style for a few decades. It's got a lot going for it: romance, recurring themes musically and story-wise, a nice-looking cast, a story set...

Sprawling Russian Epic

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a quiet, beautiful poem to humanity striving to survive its own craziness on a grand scale.
Review: The story mainly covers the time 1905 to 1921, and tells us about Yuri Zhivago, a young man in Russian, who is a physician and a poet. While try to survive the turmoil surrounding the overthrow of the Czar, the rise of nascent Communist Russia, and...

Great date movie, limping epic

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: to understand the popularity of this limping epic, you just had to be there - the world was a far different place back in 1965
Review: I first saw Dr. Zhivago on a blind date, back when I was in high school. All of the guys were taking the girls to see this movie because they thought that it was a sure way to get past first base. (No, I am not telling; nice girls don't tell.)

Can you recognize yourself in this?

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2000
Review: There are only two kinds of people, as far as this picture is concerned; those who love it, and those who can't stand it. There are virtually no viewers who can say "Ehh, it was OK, but nothing to get excited about." I have my own idea of why this...

A Serious Candidate for Best Film of All Time

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2009
The Bottom Line:

There are the 50-100 other movies I have given five stars too -- and then there are "Million Dollar Baby," "A. I." and this film, which really deserve six.

Review: I have, ever since my first review on epinions, known that eventually I would write about my favorite film, "Doctor Zhivago."  I love this movie so much that I have never even been tempted to read the book.  I understand the 21st-century update of...

Dr. Zhivago: The Historical Interpretation

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: This movie does a great job of showing a bourgeois interpretation of the revolution and anyone interested in this time period would love this movie.
Review: This movie is based on Boris Pasternak?s Nobel Prize winning novel, which follows Dr. Zhivago through the Russian Revolution. Although this movie/book was written for entertainment purposes, it still offers a somewhat valuable historical perspective...

Incredible Scenery

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2000
Review: My husband introduced me to this movie as his favorite when we were dating. I so fell in love with it, it has become mine as well. I do not typically like "war" stories nor do I have a great interest in the Russian Revolution, but Doctor Zhivago is...
