A wonderful feel good movie for every taste

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2012)

It's easy to be disappointed when you so want to like something and I so wanted to like this, because I loved the idea of something so different, so out of the norm, yet made in the modern era. It not only didn't disappoint, it far exceeded my hopes and I and everyone with me left the cinema with huge smiles on our faces.
What a wonderful simple tale, beautifully told and acted by both newcomer leads. Moving, funny, enthralling and so genuinely uplifting that I cannot imagine what sort of person wouldn't love this film.
The fact that many won't bother to see it because it's B&W or silent or retro or whatever prejudicial reason some people have in their heads is impossible to comment upon without a certain amount of pity for those that think that way.
Is it the best movie of the year? Maybe, maybe not but it deserves it's awards and every piece of positive praise it gets. Don't even get me started on the dog (and I'm not a "pet person" in the slightest) but he deserves an Oscar too.
Fabulous all round old fashioned feel good movie. I loved it-You will too.
