Review of The Circus

The Circus (1928)
9/10
The Circus - 1928
7 September 2020
"The Circus" is the first Charlie Chaplin film I have had the pleasure of watching in its entirety, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. Even in 2020, I found myself giggling throughout the entire film at Chaplins wit and physical comedy. Each scene flowed into the next, and it felt like we were following The Tramp through his story without ever slowing our pace. Not only is this a timeless comedy, it also proves to be quite the sweet love story. Throughout the film you'll find yourself feeling for the main characters as well as laughing at their antics, all leading up to an almost melancholic ending. A touching comedy that I feel truly shows why Chaplin is such a legend of film.
