Movie review: The Artist
Went to see The Artist at the movies over the holidays with my sister. We were both puzzled by why this movie is getting so much buzz as one of the best of the year.
In its favor:
--Both of the leads (the actor who played George and the actress who played Peppy) were very good
--The black & white look and the fact that there was almost zero dialog were clever and a little creativity goes a long way with me.
Against it:
--The story goes exactly as you expect it to (especially if you've seen any of the versions of A Star is Born--tho it has a happier ending)
--I almost dozed off in the middle of it
I paid $5 for a bargain matinee and that was probably a fair price.
