“If you can stand the run time, this is a must see. It is gorgeous to look at, the story is fairly gripping, and if you look away, Omar Sharif might try to slip something in your drink, so there are a lot of reasons to pay attention to this classic period film. I also love its non-judgmental handling of Zhivago’s extra-marital affair.”

“I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was a very good movie and, despite its length, I was into it the entire time.”
 JONNY ★★★★☆ 
“Beautiful, rich and powerful, Doctor Zhivago is one of the great old-school epics. It is like a Russian-set version of Gone With the Wind. Compelling in so many ways, Doctor Zhivago should be on any film-lovers list of movies to watch.”
