Ray T This is such an enjoyable and entertaining film, it is lighthearted and the story was both innovative to the evolution of sound in the film industry and well written. Could be that I’m a musical genre lover myself. It marks Hollywood transition to sound and embrace it entirely, almost showing off what they have, adopting a social relevant topic. I really like the character arc of Don and Kathy. One being the charming silent actor adapting to the new technology and him prioritizing Kathy’s talent and love over deceiving the audience. On the other hand, Kathy just shines her way into the industry. The fact that Lina’s character contrasts with Don reminds me of Norma’s character in Sunset Boulevard, and their characters were just so compelling. I especially love the scene of Don singing in the rain to express his love to Kathy, it was so iconic of cinema history. The film, the well used music and soundtrack stand out from the rest, as it’s so perfect that as if I’m actually watching a theater show myself, the choreography, interactions between characters, and the long continuous shots amazed me. On the other hand, it is a visual feast, the use of Technicolor not only add vibrancy to the story, it also emphasizes the film’s joyous vibe and upbeat tone. Highlighting the humor, romance within the musical show. I find this film refreshing to watch, superb production design and high-quality productions. It set the standard for musical films and received critical acclaim within the cinema world. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Eric D When you watch this movie, you're transported to a time when everything is vibrant, joyful, and full of wonderful energy. I got hooked by the film's ability to achieve a balance between humor and such a well-written storyline from the very first moments. The movie greatly explores the shift from silent to “talkie” films, which is an interesting era to relive for anybody interested in the history of film. Gene Kelly's performance as Don Lockwood perfectly captures the charm and vintage appeal that drive this film. You almost forget you're seeing something staged during his famous "Singin' in the Rain" performance because he makes everything look effortless. Additionally, Kelly's portrayal is balanced by Debbie Reynolds's realness as Kathy Selden, which makes their interaction an important aspect of the movie. Although I truly enjoyed the story, I believe the musical parts are what make this movie truly stand out. Even while each song and dance routine is amazing on its own, they are so effortlessly incorporated into the plot that they complement it rather than distract from it. Singin' in the Rain feels timeless despite taking place in the Hollywood atmosphere of the 1920s. One small criticism would be the pace in some scenes, but overall, the vibrant atmosphere and incredible performances more than make up for it. Although I wouldn't give it a five-star rating, this movie reminds me why I enjoy musicals. I understand why it's so popular, and I strongly recommend it to anybody hoping to experience some vintage Hollywood charm. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Alexandre N A classic musical led by Gene Kelly. The score of the movie is one of the greatest of all-time. The story is also sweet and fun to watch. There is a long scene at the end of the movie that I didn't really get and I don't understand its link with the rest of the story. Other than that, it's a great movie with great performances of Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Viviana A I really enjoyed Singin’ in the Rain. I think it gave a very lighthearted and fun feeling that made it easy to get lost in it, and it still feels kind of fresh despite it being made in 1952. I liked the story and the focus on a silent film star who has to adapt to these new things, and watching the chaos that comes with the transition was really entertaining. I liked that the directors gave a good balance of humor, romance, and musical elements so well, which kept the movie entertaining from start to finish. I think the camera work was great because it really highlights the choreography and dance scenes within the film. The cinematography used bright colors and wide shots which defined and captured the energy of the musical numbers, it sort of made me feel like I was there. The cast is also amazing. Gene Kelly was so great as Don, and Debbie Reynolds as Kathy was so sweet, I love a lot of her work. There's also Donald O’Connor, as Cosmo, who was hilarious and had really good comic timing! My final thoughts, I think Singin’ in the Rain is a great feel good movie. It’s a nice mix of humor, music, and romance.
