Have you ever seen a movie so absolutely wonderful from start to finish that at the end you stood up and cheered? Damn the people around you and their funny looks?
I have.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended. I’ve never seen anything like this film (a silent movie about the end of the silent movie era) — I have never smiled so long and so hard during a film that my cheeks hurt (Dujardin’s grin is so infectious, you won’t be able to keep your own face still), I have never made such an enormous fool out of myself as the final credits rolled, and I have never left a theater dancing. I did all those things with The Artist. And I cannot WAIT to do them all again soon.
DO NOT MISS! Now this is how you start a new year of movie-watching right. Good goddamn, it’s a delight. An utter delight.
