This was a great throwback to silent movies. I was not frustrated by the not talking at all and it kept my interest throughout. However, I feel like that was the pull of the movie. If this was a talking movie - it's poop. It managed to cash in on it's one trick hook well enough for it to be an enjoyable movie. I am having a problem though with how gaa-gaa people are for it. Is this what we've come to? Best picture nominations based on making a movie like they used to 80-90 years ago? This really was a rough year I guess.
I would definitely recommend people checking this one out. Don't get me wrong. It is a very entertaining movie with the silent factor added in and I definitely enjoyed it. I just am thrown off by the very high critical praise for it.
