Review: ‘The Artist’
 |
I went to a screening of ‘The Artist’ last night, and it’s the first movie I’ve felt compelled to recommend in a loooooong time. I know what you’re thinking. It’s a silent film – how can it really be that good? It’s exactly what I was thinking. Can’t be that good, right?
But it was better than I could have hoped for. I loved every single minute of the movie. I seriously couldn’t wipe the smile off my face the whole time! It was such an enjoyable movie – from beginning to end. You MUST go see it. I command you! 
Don’t want to take my word for it?
“The Artist,” which opens Friday in Chicago, has won best film honors from the New York Film Critics Circle (and several other critics’ groups), leads this year’s Golden Globes race with six nominations and looks to be an odds-on favorite for the Oscars.
I really feel like this is the one movie that will sweep the awards season. You really owe it to yourself to see it!
Here’s the trailer:

Jocelyn – I’m dying to hear your thoughts on ‘girl with the dragon tattoo’ I saw it last night and loved it!

It was intense and dark but so well done. Great adaption of the book. I might try watching the Swedish version again to see how they compare (wasnt able to handle subtitles last time so I’m not sure). I think it is a must see if you have read the book.

Thanks Jocelyn for reviewing a film that differs from what we are used to. I love Jean Dujardin, but then I am married to a Frenchman! If you haven’t seen it yet, may I suggest you to rend Incendies (Canadian Oscar contender from last year). It’s now available on DVD with subtitles. It’s also a dark an intense movie, but so good!
