City Lights

CriticsCritics: 97
AudienceAudience: 8.4

A kindhearted tramp falls for a blind flower seller and tries to help her improve her difficult circumstances. His unpredictable friendship with a wealthy man opens unexpected opportunities, leading him through comic misadventures and heartfelt efforts to support the woman he loves.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tender romances, visual comedy, and heartfelt classics such as The Gold Rush or Modern Times; Not for you if silent films and simple plots feel too dated.
