In a league of its own.

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2013)

When this film came out in British cinema's in late 2011/early 2012, I merely passed it as being a boring film in which I had no interest because of it being a silent movie, however when I started to watch more silent films such as The Lodger and Metropolis I noticed The Artist on Sky Premier and armed with experience of the genre and knowledge about the time period I sat down and watched it .... after the first 10 minutes I was thinking to myself "why the $@%& didn't I go see this in the cinema".
Everything with the film is 110% perfect, the acting is outstanding with Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo giving powerhouse performances despite the film being silent and actors like James Cromwell and John Goodman playing fantastic supporting roles. The actors do a really good job at what they do, they'll make you laugh whilst other times they make you sad and emotional. The music steals the movie, its comedic when it wants to be and subtle and sad when it wants to be and like the acting it can change the viewers emotions perfectly. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful as its displayed in the always brilliant black and white scheme. Whilst the story covers no new ground everything else more than makes up for it, it ultimately squashes that problem out of existence.
Why should I continue praising the film, the film is perfect in every possible aspect. If you are movie lover like me The Artist will tug your film heartstrings and make you fall in love with it, and it really does deserve those 5 Oscars and every other award it won. I haven't found a film this damn magnificent since ages, its that perfect.
