Young Adult (2011)

I was relatively disappointed with this film. It could have been better, but at the same time, I feel like it would have taken a lot more effort to make this film remarkable. It really felt like the director, writer and actor all phoned this one it.

The character was also quite sad to watch. I felt bad that it came out that the female protagonist had mental health issues. It made it hard to watch, because it because evident that it was not going to end too happily.

The Artist (2011)

This movie was enjoyable for what it had to offer. My favourite part of the film, was a scene that looked like it was going to take the film in a surrealism direction, but it ended up only being a one-off scene. It was the scene where the protagonist can hear sound all around him, but he cannot hear himself make a noise. It was quite freaky, and I was hoping it would become of developing/episodic theme in the film. My date to the film said that it wouldn't have made sense if the film went in that direction, because it's a french art film, but I personally would have liked it to go that way. Maybe I was just in the mood for a David Lynch film.
The ending was cute, and overall I did enjoy myself during the film. Check it out if you're looking for a b/w revival feel silent film.
Cheers.
