The Artist Review
Silent films are back! Maybe not, but Michael Hazanavicius has done a sweet job of pulling this one off, even if silents will be silenced again quickly.

A biopic of the highest order featuring a performance of equal measure. A thoughtful, complex portrait of Britain’s divisive PM.
Surprisingly sanitized version of the Swedish blockbuster has little resonance in this Americanized form. Stick with with Swedish version – both book and film.
With so much money, talent, and depth of rich source material, one has to wonder why "Tintin" plays out like a cheap animated knock-off of Indiana Jones, without the character, style, or quality.
Thanks to the addition of a delightfully sinister Moriarty, the memory of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective is only slightly less tarnished than in the previous installment of Guy Ritchie’s bombastic franchise.
This awkward adaptation of the stage play comes off as an acting exercise but little else.
Director Steve McQueen is back with another Michael Fassbender collaboration and the two play together like a heated romp in the sack.
A cliched retread of every babysitting movie ever, with the addition of cuss words. It doesn’t help.
Like "Mean Girls" 20 years later, this reteaming of the writer and director of "Juno" will make you wonder if you should laugh or cry.
Even the star-studded cast offers little to recommend this glossy, flimsy holiday movie.
