Critic Reviews of "Limelight"
Chicago Sun-TimesAugust 08, 2011What comes through most clearly in Limelight, however, is that Chaplin had come to terms with his life.
TIME MagazineAugust 08, 2011Intended as a tragicomedy, if not a tearjerker, it is a two-thirds bore that comes to life in the last half-hour or so, when the old-master clown stops trying to be pathetic and reverts to his inimitable proper stuff.
VarietyMarch 26, 2009Departing 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.
New York TimesMarch 25, 2006Neither comedy nor tragedy altogether, it is a brilliant weaving of comic and tragic strands, eloquent, tearful and beguiling with supreme virtuosity.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Few cinema artists have delved into their own lives and emotions with such ruthlessness and with such moving results.
Chicago ReaderJanuary 01, 2000Charles Chaplin's 1952 film is overlong, visually flat, episodically constructed, and a masterpiece.
Film InquiryApril 11, 2017With Limelight, for one last, brief moment, it's like old times even as the new age begins and Chaplin relinquishes his crown to the younger generations.
Lawrence.comJune 13, 2015It was Chaplin's last great film, and it showcases not just a love for the performing arts (she's a ballerina, he's a vaudevillian), but also Chaplin's effortless sentimentality.
Under the RadarMay 21, 2015Some have also accused Limelight of being too sentimental, but we'd argue that's part of its charm.
TV GuideAugust 08, 2011Chaplin, as usual, is the whole show, superb in this swansong statement about his own career and the old-style entertainment he best represented.
Empire MagazineMarch 09, 2011Elements of self parody from the master of slapstick leave you yearning for the early work that made his name. But it's worth a watch to see Chaplin and Keaton in one of few on-screen appearances together.
