Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
With this reverential biopic, director Richard Attenborough has cranked out a many-reel, talky talkie.

A lot of loving care (but not much thought) went into this white elephant, and considering how fascinating a figure Chaplin is it's never exactly boring, but your time would be much better spent looking at any of Chaplin's pictures.

It's slick packaging around what is mostly warm air.

The thrill of the ending, with real Chaplin film clips, only exposes the rest as a soporific.

rotten:
The movie indulges in a rather stale flashback procedure.
