THE KID (Theatrical Release USA 1921)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

The Kid—Charlie Chaplin silent film classic—turns into an outstanding watch for the whole family. Its simple, straightforward, innocent storyline with a terrific conclusion shows heart and revives the human touch as a media standard. Simpler times makes for soul soothing watching. Great work for Director Charlie Chaplin.
