I was looking forward to seeing The Artist, but can honestly say it exceeded my wildest expectations. It was beautiful, funny, sad, and enormously creative. The theater was sold out (at 5pm on a Sunday night), and the audience applauded at the end, which is a rarity in LA.
Although it was a simple story, the telling of it, silently ,was pure genius. I'm telling all of my friends that it's definitely the movie to see before the year ends. I'll be shocked if it doesn't garner several Oscars next year.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was probably the best movie I have ever seen. If the concept of a silent movie/black and white movie pushes you away...DON'T! It has many twists it will break your heart and repair it in moments after. The music score is fantastic in holding the moment. There is a scene stealing dog, who will easily put a smile on your face. You will fall in love with the beautiful "Peppy Miller", woo'd by "George Valentin". It's about time something original hits theatres. I'm tired of the same Transformers...cookie cutter romance comedies. This movie is one of a kind. Stop wasting time and see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie by a French director with a Lithuanian name is very elegant and artistic. The theme of a silent film is played with unpredictable twists.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

i did'nt tell my wife this was a black and white, silent movie when I booked the tickets. I saw her eyes roll up in her head when the titles started and she realized what it was. At the end of the movie she told me it was easily the best movie she has seen all year and I have to agree with her. Highly recommended, a very cleverly told story that will make you laugh and cry.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Artist is the best silent film I have ever seen. Yes, it's a silent film, but please don't let that scare you off. I actually went into this film not knowing that it was a silent film and I felt somewhat disappointed for a couple of minutes into it. Beyond those initial couple of minutes, I was transfixed on the plot, the characters, the talent, and, yes, the romance. This is one of the most romantic films of the year and it's good enough to be a real contender for Best Picture during the Oscars. Wouldn't it be something if a silent film would be among the Best Picture nominees for 2011!!!
The Plot is simple. The male lead is a silent movie star around the time that talking pictures started to become popular. He's too proud to change with the times and refuses to make talking pictures. His life quickly falls apart. However, he discovered a beautiful up-and-coming movie star before he left the business and she becomes a new rising star. As it happens, they fell in love at first site, but didn't pursue it. I won't ruin the ending. Suffice it to say that this movie left me completely satisfied and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes romantic movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
