Review of City Lights

I give this 4 for cultural significance and because there were moments here and there that impressed me (usually to do with the timings of everything that is happening on screen, which I imagine must have been rehearsed a hundred times).

The first 15 minutes were the most enjoyable and it was quite entertaining for the first 40 minutes. After that though, I found this a bit boring and repetitive. I appreciate Chaplin's ability and skills and cultural impact but it doesn't stop the film being a bit dull and scenes going on too long.
