    There is a moment mid way through involving a dream that was brilliant. At this moment I thought the film would go on to play with it's genre in unexpected ways. However, it did not. The actors give it their all and the film looks gorgeous but I can't help but be reminded that films are just better with sound.

    Hilariously empty on this watch. The dog was the most captivating part, honestly. I get what it was trying to do but...come on, Harvey. At least it looked kinda nice.

    A rather good exercise in style but not much more than that. I had put off watching this movie for a long time because for one thing, I got so fed up with all the hype around it that it almost turned me off to it completely. Mainly though, and much like the character George Valentin thinks of the onset of the 'talkie', the film always seemed nothing more than a novelty or a gimmick than a full-on 'serious' movie.…

    Very fun movie, as it's been mentioned before it's nothing to write home about. But it's black and white, silent and french, so pretentious people everywhere got a hard on. Still it doesn't detract from the movie, it's a very fun watch, emotional, funny, and even thought the awards make the medium feel gimicky, the movie itself doesn't.

    I finally watched The Artist and I am happy to say that I absolutely adored this film. It's a flawlessly-made love letter to silent films of the past, while at the same time has Singin' in the Rain-levels of self-awareness which is both incredibly endearing and very refreshing. All actors' performances are fantastic but Dujardin and Bejo in particular are simply stellar. There's not much to dislike here, and by the end I was grinning like an idiot. Absolutely marvelous.

    A risky film, not because of its gimmick but in spite of it.

    This was a really interesting and certainly unique film. It's very brave and pulls off the silent film aspect so brilliantly.

    A perfectly executed period drama, Dujardin as usual is phenomenal, and perfect because it captured every tone and mood of that era to the last detail. People may find it melodramatic but this is a silent film about silent films, so the melodrama was only expected.
