There's a lot of depth to this seemingly straightforward silent film. It feels like all the different elements came together perfectly to create a playful yet compelling story: endearing actors, a fun score, peppy editing, and always interesting visuals. I enjoyed the film's humorous take on the ever-evolving film industry. This is a timeless popcorn movie that revels in the magic of movies and keeping the old Hollywood nostalgia alive for future generations. Plus, it has John Goodman in it, so I'm all set.
