I assume this movie is highly regarded because Sjostrom directed it and so many other Swedish films from the silent era are lost. Because it's not gonna have many fans on its own merits.
It's a glorified melodrama with some weather effects thrown in. Big deal.
Also, if this actress is 30 (allegedly born 1887, filmed in 1917) I'll eat the canister this film ships in. She's 45 if she's a day.
**************SPOILER ALERT ********************
The authorities are closing in on you. Maybe you panic a bit. But I'll tell you what you don't do -- you don't throw a family member off the side of a mountain. That's not gonna help.
