Truly Exceptional

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2017)

Citizen Kane really does deserve its reputation (and the title) of the greatest film of all time. Orson Welles was obviously a genius filmmaker and truly ahead of his time when he made this masterpiece, and it really is one of the few movies that is exactly that - a masterpiece!
The acting is spot on and brilliant. The direction is masterful, and the stories about how far Welles was willing to go to get the perfect shots, the perfect scenes and the perfect feelings are incredible to this day.
I know it's not like a movie today and a lot of people won't even bother to watch it or give it a chance at all simple because it is old, slow, "boring" and black and white, but you should do yourself a favour if you haven't seen it and watch it without expecting it to be like a modern movie and to jump out at you quickly from the get go and you should enjoy this wonderful piece of storytelling.
