The Artist is a silent film that is the critics choice for best picture of 2011. The movie is a little like The Star is Born where a big star is surpassed by an underling and the big star can't not deal with their change of fortunes. I thought the beginning of the film was great. The story moved along and it really captures your imagination. Then as the big star starts his descent into obscurity and depression the movie slows down and I started looking at my watch to see when it would be over. It never captures that early magic which is a shame. If they had kept it happy and light all the way through they would have had a great movie. It's a good movie but does not make my top 10 of 2011.
