Nothing short of an absolute delight.

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2020)

"The Artist" is a unique experience to have in the modern age. The movie is presented as a silent film from the 20s while also being about the introduction of sound in cinema. While I think this movie is definitely made for silent movie buffs, I think it does a good job being entertaining for all lovers of cinema. I thought the movie had very impressive performances and a solid musical score, both of which are crucial for a movie like this. Facial expressions can go a long way when there is no spoken dialogue and I was completely sold on every emotion portrayed in the movie. I liked the blend of comedic and charismatic moments as well as some of the more dramatic ones. Overall, this movie definitely is not for everyone, but I personally thought it was original and an experience worth having.
