really good movie
Average movie.
definitley flawed in it's story and being anything really exciting to watch. It is however very well made and the acting is outstanding.
very good movie
Silent movie!!? Yeah, and it's an awesomely entertaining good time too.
you'll either really really like it or hate it - it will win awards
Good movie.
This movie sparkles and takes the viewer back to a simpler era, the late 1920s, with its endless optimism, glamour and Hollywood excitement. The two lead actors, who are French, pay homage to the golden age of Hollywood cinema through facial expressions, since the film is 98% silent. The lead actor's pet dog in the film, played by Uggie, steals the show. The film chronicles the fall of one star, the rise of another, and how these two characters find each other in the middle of the Great Depression. Filled with great beauty, simplicity and ultimately optimism, this film is an instant classic that deserves to be recognized this awards season (Golden Globes/Academy Awards, that is).
Nice to see this type of film again!!
I had no idea how to approach this before-now I'm locked and ldeoad.
