The Artist

"The Artist has an utterly beguiling purity."

"This elegantly crafted salute to yesteryear is well worth shouting about. And we haven’t even mentioned Jack the dog. "

"Manages to embrace contradictions and then resolve them with supreme comic grace."

"I can't wait to see it again."

"The Artist encapsulates everything we go to movies for: action, laughs, tears and a chance to get lost in another world. How can Oscar resist?"

"I've seen The Artist three times, and each time it was applauded."

"Strikes an exact balance between the traditions of the past and the demands of the present."

"An utterly charming film that earns its audience's support the old-fashioned way."

"Both a surefire crowdpleaser and a magnificent piece of film-making."

"Days after I saw The Artist, I was still thinking (and grinning) about it."

"Simply irresistible."

"Not especially deep or profound—just (very) good old-fashioned fun."

"It's a beautifully shot, beautifully acted piece of fluff."
