The Artist (2011)

Director: Michel Hazanavicius

 I reviewed this film for the newspaper. You can find that review here.

I don't have much more to add except to say that I really enjoyed the movie for what it is and I respect it for being so successful despite the obvious setbacks. There were better movies in 2011, but I don't expect the Best Picture winner to ever be my personal favorite film, because I'm not the one voting. So I will never complain when it goes to a good movie that I respect. Maybe it doesn't make audiences think too much, but it does make them think outside the box when it comes to silent movies, black-and-white movies, and old movies.
