Don't believe any of it

Rating: 2/10 (28 February 2012)

This film is a pointless, dull, pretentious, and absurdly over-hyped waste of two hours. We both couldn't wait until it was over and by the reaction in the theater most felt the same. There's a reason films have a soundtrack. It makes them interesting. I identified with the hapless audience watching Valentin's last silent film after the talkies were introduced. Mugging for the camera is not a skill I wish to pay money for and other than tap dancing that's all you get. I am amazed at the way in which people followed the critics like sheep. Its a shame this film won anything, let alone an Oscar. Oh, there is the dog. Everyone likes the dog
