Entertaining, Emotional and Endearing

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2015)

There is a reason this film won so many distinguished awards.
Great acting, wonderfully crisp cinematography and a reminder of how Hollywood used to be in it's early days.
John Goodman is always fun to see on screen. You can still hear him yelling in your head even though it's a silent film.
This film is by no means an authentic silent movie, as it does use some sound effects. If you want to introduce someone to silent cinema, it's important to remember that early movies did not have the luxury of such "special effects".
I would recommend this film to anyone, especially if they have never seen a silent movie! Great ice breaker for film history. ENJOY
