I’ve been debating how to rate The Artist since we saw it a few days ago - I almost gave it 2.5*. I’m glad I saw it, it’s a great performance by Jean Dujardin, and a very nice one by Berenice Bejo - but....
Some films engross you and take you away from the stresses of life for a couple of hours - this story is nice but throughout it I was conscious that I was watching a movie. As my wife pointed out, you had to work at it constantly and this one felt long.
Watching a movie without much sound other than occasional background music is a little strange (and I realize that that’s the point). But I don’t think I’d see it again.
