Fascinatingly produced movie showing the story of a great actor failing to adapt to the technological advancement of "talking" movies. "Fascinating" however is only the case if one wants to study the period. As entertainment, I was unmoved, unentertained and frequently bored. Call me shallow, but I generally do not like movies from more than 20 years ago, and detest movies from more than 40 years ago. While this movie was made recently it emulates everything of movies made 80 years ago. The the film crowd and the industry insiders I say "have at it" but to the rest of us - don't be bothere'd. I do not enjoy self-refererential art. I do not enjoy movies about making a movie or radio shows about making a radio show or books about writing a book. When a producer or an artist generates such work I implore them and their ilk to consume it themselves and rather leave me out.

I admired the cleverness of this modern interpretation of several classic styles coming together for a unique movie. I mostly enjoyed it. The acting was beautiful. However, I was not blown away like many critics. It was a nice, nostalgic departure from today's films, where you can't go 5 minutes without hearing blabbermouths mistaking reproductive anatomy for modern cusswords.

I really enjoyed this movie. I have recommended it to several people already. It was refreshing to see real acting carry the story instead of very poor acting in between over the top action scenes.
