Excellent!...

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2013)

I found this film a breath of fresh air; it took me back to Saturday morning TV when they used to show the odd silent movie. A simple love story with some great acting and a brilliant musical score really hit the mark. I did find, though, that George's decline went on a little too long, just when you thought he'd hit bottom there was a little further to go. But that's the only criticism I have, it's beautifully made in the style of the time and, although it may not be for everyone. A marginally lower score this time around; I guess it didn't quite have the same impact it did on the big screen Still well worth a look though!
SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED
My score: 8.4/10.
