It really is a lovely film, even for someone like me who usually can't stand soppy films. However, the style and cinematography is fantastic and the acting is excellent, too (especially John Goodman and the dog). Lighting, scenery, props and costume are spot on as a wonderful homage to the films of the mid 1920s to 1930s, even the Hollywood sign still reads "Hollywoodland".
Despite it being a silent film, this should be well up in the foreign film category of this year's Oscars. See it while you can.
Bizarrely, the two best films I've seen recently were both retro-homages (this one and Whisperer in the Dark).
