Sherlock Jr.

Witchcraft is on Buster Keaton’s to do list, as a part of his daily routine

Sherlock Jr surprised me, for what it is, it’s more well made than 90% of film, not cause of the extent, but because it was the first to do any kind of effects, like so much of the film is “how did they do that?”, even more questioning is the fact it came out 91 YEARS AGO.

It does seem I’ve got this problem with silent movies, is that I tend to doze off during them, like I did for 10 minutes during City Lights, I was on the verge of passing out near the end of Nosferatu, and here I had to watch it in two parts cause I watched it in bed and fell asleep 10 minutes before the end.

Still I found it very enjoyable, and for how short it is, it’s worth the history lesson, if film existed during the Salem Witch Trials, Buster Keaton would have been burned at the stake.

8.7/10
