Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2017)

A lot of people will not like this movie because it is kind of dry or even "slow" and I think its status as "the greatest film of all time" does itself a bit of a disservice, as many audience members (especially in today's fast paced world, and younger viewers) will go into this picture expecting big action and to be kept on the edge of their seats with a huge spectacle. This is not that movie though. It's just great acting, amazingly ahead of its time cinematography, and some of the best writing ever.
Orson Welles is at his absolute best in this and it doesn't get much better than Citizen Kane. In fact I would say that it doesn't get any better at all than Citizen Kane.
To be completely honest, whenever someone asks me what my favourite movie is and I tell them "Citizen Kane" and am met with an eye roll (which happens a lot), I lose respect for that person because I've found that 99% of the time they haven't even watched the movie themselves and just hate old/black and white movies, or they did watch it and hate it for reasons they can't really explain.
Best movie ever in my opinion!
