6/10
Barely scratched the surface

A great artistic effort to dissect the tramp but ultimately falls quite short of gleaning the "real" Charlie Chaplin. There is no more investigative work here than the gossip columns the writers clearly detested.

It is unlikely that CC would have wanted to be vindicated at this point in time and certainly not in such an offhand and uninspiring fashion.

Eventually we are left baffled by the lack of any insight into his mind, his genius or even his filmmaking.
