Viewing Notes
Couldn’t make it to the Drafthouse for this Alamo 100 title, but felt like I should make the effort to see it.
Soooo glad I did. This is a lovely, funny, and, at times, heartbreaking film for Chaplin. Plenty of laughs and a final scene that had me sniffling and reaching for tissue.
Just. Perfect.
