Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Neither comedy nor tragedy altogether, it is a brilliant weaving of comic and tragic strands, eloquent, tearful and beguiling with supreme virtuosity.
Fresh: Departing from most forms of Hollywood stereotype, the film has a flavor all its own in the sincere quality of the story anent the onetime great vaudemime and his rescue of a femme ballet student.
Fresh: What comes through most clearly in Limelight, however, is that Chaplin had come to terms with his life.
Fresh: Charles Chaplin's 1952 film is overlong, visually flat, episodically constructed, and a masterpiece.
