Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "The Academy has a hard on for films that praise old Hollywood without ever truly capturing the magic of it. The Artist is the latest trend of copycat that presents itself as a black and white silent film from the 1920s. There are two very gifted performers on display in the film, but aside from their performances the film is mostly a tribute. It works fine, but it never captivates the audience or becomes something original and worthy of all of its high praise." 70/100
