In the 1920s, actor George Valentin, a bona fide matinee idol, finds himself falling in love with an ingenue named Peppy Miller. But the arrival of talking pictures sends their careers in opposite directions.

This is a bauble, not a jewel.February 17, 2015
Uplifting, heart-warming, hilarious... not necessarily words you'd expect to apply to a black and white silent French film. But The Artist is no ordinary movie.February 26, 2017
As the scattershot everything-at-once world of Net connectivity ever decreases our ability to concentrate, the mere act of turning down the sensory input for an experience seems like a bold act of cultural resistance.February 15, 2013
There is literally nothing wrong with it. I don't have a single nit to pick, minor flaw to point out or little bit that annoyed me. It is pure magic from the first frame to the last.February 26, 2017
One desperately wants to enjoy the cinematic escapade but the fun eventually wears thin as the familiar narrative fails to illuminate the magic of the movies during its infancy.April 17, 2012
You can't fault it as smart entertainment, which eschews parody to make a sincere tribute that also serves as cogent current commentary.June 20, 2013
The whole thing is so damn clever and charming, it might just sneak off with Best Picture.February 24, 2016
Writer-director Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist is not for a nanosecond fun-though it works hard to be so. Basically, it is A Star Is Born knockoff.February 15, 2013
It isn't arty or intellectual, though it is artful and ingenious, and it's the rare crowd-pleaser that never feels obvious or pandering.February 26, 2017
It's inarguable that you'll leave The Artist with a spring in your step and a grin on your face.February 17, 2015
Michel Hazanavicius' black-and-white, mostly silent comedy The Artist is a gorgeously made curiosity -- a film that functions as a testament to its own obsession with other movies.
