Silence is golden

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2012)

There are a lot of films that get massive hype and then do not live up to the expectation but The Artist does in many ways.
It's been said that the film is a love letter to Hollywood and I would agree with that. It has a simple story and has such a fluid and lavish look to it that you instantly sit up and take attention to it. Although very few words are said you follow the story effortlessly. The actors play their parts well and the music used throughout is great.
I can only say that this film is well worth watching and is probably only one of a few from recent times that capture the spirit of old fashioned Hollywood glamour and can be enjoyed by all ages. All the praise and awards this film gain/ gained are deserved.
