Germinal Ratings & Reviews
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
Though never boring, this tale of miners' lives is too frequently beset by cave-ins and clinkers.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Deals with a mining strike in 19th century France and comes across as a poignant depiction of class warfare.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
An extremely moving tale that points to the ultimate hopelessness of the human condition.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
For me, Germinal provided visual and dramatic images for 19th century history events that I only understood in an abstract way.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
Big and impressive in its epic scope, Germinal nevertheless suffers from uneven acting, over-the-top histrionics and a constant dark and dour tone.
