Kinograph: "People want new faces, talking faces." Me:I want them, too

Rating: 5/10 (10 September 2012)

It's a good drama, really. However, it is SILENT. Could've been awesome if it was not. Why did they choose to make it this way? I can't think of a good reason. It's a huge risk, because I and many people won't advice friends to see it.
Note that this has been chosen for the Best Motion Picture. But really, How? The people who choose Oscar winners are hidden from public, may this be the reason? :) It's apparent that they love classical movie-play, silent etc, and this film is really successful in that sense, I admit.
This is just the best "silent" movie, do not expect an ordinary taste.
