Top Critics Reviews

You can't fault it as smart entertainment, which eschews parody to make a sincere tribute that also serves as cogent current commentary.

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.

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.

The whole thing is so damn clever and charming, it might just sneak off with Best Picture.

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.
