'The Artist'

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 96%

Armond White, City Arts: "'The Artist' is a dismissible movie, even though it was just voted Best Picture and Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle -- a calamity that proves the sorry state of contemporary film criticism. When film critics mistake pyrite for gold, it is an undeniable catastrophe, one that is ushering in the end of cinephilia."
