Hollywood, 1927: as silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks a romance with Peppy Miller, a young actress set for a big break. This funny and moving film captures the style of classic Hollywood silent films, using sound only rarely.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Slant Magazine by

The Artist neatly sidesteps this unsolvable dilemma by ignoring everything that's fascinating and memorable about the era, focusing instead on a patchwork of general knowledge, so eroded of inconvenient facts that it doesn't even qualify as a roman à clef.

Time Out by Joshua Rothkopf

A fascinating experiment is about to happen, and who doesn't want to be part of a little fun? That rarest of birds - a b&w silent film - is set to swoop into multiplexes. Trust us, it won't bite.
80

Village Voice by Melissa Anderson

The Artist is movie love at its most anodyne; where Guy Maddin has used the conventions of silent film to express his loony psychosexual fantasias for more than a decade, Hazanavicius sweetly asks that we not be afraid of the past.
88

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers

The Artist encapsulates everything we go to movies for: action, laughs, tears and a chance to get lost in another world. It just might leave you speechless. How can Oscar resist?

Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez

A brazen stunt that pays off. Writer-director Michel Hazanavicius, simultaneously channeling "Singin' in the Rain" and "A Star is Born," tells a story about 1920s Hollywood made in the style of that era.

Observer by Rex Reed

Get ready for a smash hit. Gimmicky but delicious, this is a valentine to the movies I promise you will cherish.
