i read somewhere people were pissed b/c they didnt know it was a silent film and walked out

if you can tolerate silent films, you'll probably enjoy it

I thought it was great. Wife loved it too. I'd say it was the best movie I saw this year and better than most of the recent oscar winners. Different for sure. I don't like movies that are just original for the sake of being different, but this is one of a kind and still really entertaining. I think I might have been thrown off if I didnt know it was silent before. Best to know what you are getting into. The actor definately deserves an oscar - the methods of silent acting are really different. Almost like a lost art. Its amazing how complex and engrossing you can make a story without using words.

Thanks. That's all I needed to give it a shot.
