The Artist



What I liked:

  • Jean Dujardin is mesmerizing.  He has an infectious smile and a sparkle in his eyes.  He is so enjoyable to watch which is extremely important in this silent film.
  • Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller, Missi Pyle, Beth Grant, Ed Lauter, Joel Murray, Ken Davitian, and Malcolm McDowell make up the rest of the wonderful cast.
  • The dog deserves some props for being funny and talented.
  • The story isn't as silly as the trailer makes it out to be.
  • The score is fantastic considering it is the only thing that you hear.

What I didn't like:

  • It was a little different sitting through a silent movie because we are use to having dialogue.  So you hear every cough, every phone vibrating, every stomach growling...it takes a little getting use to.

Grade: A-
