Rating: 4/5 --
Varieté is a sophisticated melodrama with a unique setting and gorgeous imagery ... that marries burlesque theatricality and cinematic perspective.

CineVue
This is a production which not only shows the way in which a story should be unfurled, but impresses one with the magic of the camera in picturing effects, such as the torrent of thoughts rushing through a maddened mind.

The way emotions play across [Jannings'] wide face it could practically be a movie screen itself.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
An almost operatic tale of personal tragedy, made great by Dupont's keen visual innovations and sense of character.
