The Artist
Hollywood, 1927: Silent movie star George Valentin bemoans the coming era of talking pictures and fades into oblivion and self-destruction, but finds sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer lighting up talkies like no one else. The Artist tells the story of their interlinked destinies.
Critic Reviews:
- " The fiction, ultimately, is the thing. The Artist, in the best possible sense, is more of a movie than a film. It's played for laughs and tears; it switches from action to tenderness; it's got a really funny dog. " – Tara Brady
- " The Artist is simply a pleasure to watch, if only for just two hours in time. " – Candice Frederick
- " The Artist is drunk on the history of cinema and art, and culture buffs will get giddy on it. " – Robbie Collin
