Classic

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2014)

I just saw this classic film for the first time and did so at a rep theatre and it was jaw dropping how amazing this movie actually was. It probably helped that I went into this expecting it to be a cheesy melodrama and very over rated because I also saw Magnificent Ambersons previously and thought it was not nearly as good as I had been led to believe by people. But Citizen Kane is everything that it is advertized to be. The acting is top rate and I would put the performances of the cast up against any other movie I have ever seen. The writing and directing is also top notch and the story is very entertaining and interesting.
