Excellent! submitted by manz on March 10, 2012, 4:52pm This is such a great movie! I saw it on the big screen, at the 83 year old Michigan Theater, which is the perfect backdrop for this film. A silent movie that celebrates the birth of talkies. The movie nerd in me was doing cartwheels in my heart as I watched this delightful story unfold.

Delightful! submitted by messelti on July 16, 2012, 10:16am This film loses nothing in its lack of sound. It is so well put together than the audience will have no problem following the plot and characters. The stars of ridiculously charming and have great chemistry.

Absolutely darling.

Surprising submitted by daryl on September 20, 2012, 9:48pm I did not expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did. I expected a somewhat dull and artsy movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I had seen it in the Michigan Theater as the reviewer below did. Thumbs up!

Love submitted by KOH on August 13, 2017, 10:38am This was just lovely, and my young daughter loved it too! A fun change from "in your face" type films.

Suprising submitted by c_zhang on June 30, 2019, 4:06pm I usually don't like silent films, but it was surprisingly good. The plot was easy to follow.

The Artist submitted by jmwink_ on July 29, 2019, 10:10am Don't get me wrong is a cool movie and I understand why people liked it, but the Best Picture award was really just Hollywood congratulating itself on celebrating its own history. It's an enjoyable watch but I don't think its mindblowing or anything.

Great movie submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on August 29, 2020, 10:33am Such a great movie, and they played with sound (or the lack of) to amazing effect.

Excellent! submitted by KatieD on August 18, 2021, 1:31pm I was unsure about seeing a silent film, but I actually really loved it!
