One of the most brilliant films ever made

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2017)

CITIZEN KANE is one of the most brilliant films ever made hands down. Everything about it from the carefully planned out camera work and beautiful shots taken to the clever use of lighting and miraculous acting especially by Orson Welles himself. A very fast paced film but with a fairly straightforward plot line I believe is what made this movie stand out so much. Most movies that work at such a pace are often extremely difficult to follow and have the viewer lost after the first hour, but with CITIZEN KANE it all flows seamlessly. The use of flash backs is also very well done here and it is one of my favorite things about the movie, especially when they're used at the right times and aren't to weird in some way. CITIZEN KANE will always be an example of one of the best films ever made and perhaps it really is THE best.
