Recommendations

Boston Globe
Chaplin's sentimental politics and peerless comic invention dovetailed more perfectly in this film than in any other he made. - 100
San Francisco Chronicle
An ungainly masterpiece, but Chaplin's ungainliness is something one can grow fond of. - 100
Chicago Reader
Charlie Chaplin finally got around to acknowledging the 20th century in this 1936 film, which substitutes machine-age gags for the fading Victoriana of his other work. Consequently, it's the coldest of his major features, though no less brilliant for it. - 80
Village Voice
Remains Chaplin's most sustained burlesque of authority.
