Nice enough as a modern silent film, and modern black and white film. The era and filmic tropes are recreated very faithfully, and Dujardin has one of the warmest smiles in cinema history - but overall it doesn't feel like there's much here. Maybe as I'm so used to the modern busyness and 'rich experience', something with so little to work from just doesn't cut it any more? Yet I still find The General, Sunrise etc. gripping and hilarious. Altogether not sure how this is an Oscar-winning IMDB Top 250 movie.
