[Director Michel Hazanavicius'] extensive research and efforts to ensure that The Artist is a respectable homage to silent cinema is admirable... it was a labour of love that was well worth the time.

Musings of Guitargalchina
3.5 stars out of 4 -- THE ARTIST is a total pleasure....It's A STAR IS BORN blended with SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, and yet somehow bracingly fresh.
Rolling Stone
The fiction, ultimately, is the thing. The Artist, in the best possible sense, is more of a movie than a film. It's played for laughs and tears; it switches from action to tenderness; it's got a really funny dog.

Irish Times
5 stars out of 5 -- [T]he film's charm and delight of discovery, plus its sterling international performances, could make it a breakout hit in theaters...
Box Office
4 stars out of 4 -- Michel Hazanavicius's romantic comedy plays like a sweet, airy confection, satisfying the audience's sweet tooth with gentle wit, a lavish production and winning performances.
Washington Post
Bejo is genuinely charming as the naive ingenue who becomes an 'it girl'.
Sight and Sound
Michel Hazanavicius' black-and-white, mostly silent comedy The Artist is a gorgeously made curiosity -- a film that functions as a testament to its own obsession with other movies.

Product Description:
Michel Hazanavicius' stylistically daring, dialogue-free comedy-drama THE ARTIST stars Jean Dujardin as George Valentin, a matinee idol in Hollywood before the dawn of talkies. His marriage is far from perfect, and one day he meets ambitious chorus girl Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) and is smitten. Very quickly thereafter, sound comes to movies, and George sinks all his money into one last epic silent film, while Peppy becomes a star in the new era. John Goodman co-stars as the head of the film studio working with Valentin. THE ARTIST played at both the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
