Sherlock Jr.

Dies ist definitiv einer der besten Keaton-Filme, die ich bisher gesehen habe – wahrscheinlich der zweitbeste nach Der General. Die Geschichte (eine echte Parodie) ist toll, die Gags einfallsreich (der Mordstuhl, das Billard, die Motorradfahrt), die Tricks unglaublich und die Stimmung bezaubernd (der Anfang des Films, der Sprung durch die Krawattenverkäuferin). Alles bekommt von mir einen Einser. (31.10.2014)

Buster Keaton absolutely amazes us with how the individual stunts are captured. It takes your breath away, even after ninety years. Nowadays, some stunt scenes don't look as good by any means. It's a shame that classic tricks and stunts are disregarded today, especially since everyone has insurance. Digital effects are sometimes infuriating, and this is a beautiful example. An excellent film that proves silent films can captivate today's audience. (03.07.2014)

The opening drags a bit, but what comes in the second half is perhaps the best detective parody of all time. Two moments in particular gave me the kind of fits of laughter that I hadn’t had in long time – where did they get such ideas? 85% (19.03.2014)
