Charles Chaplin's 1952 film is overlong, visually flat, episodically constructed, and a masterpiece.

Rating: 3/4 --
It was Chaplin's last great film, and it showcases not just a love for the performing arts (she's a ballerina, he's a vaudevillian), but also Chaplin's effortless sentimentality.

To me it seems one of the finest things Chaplin has ever done. Not even an occasional draggy or garrulous episode can detract seriously from the incomparable grace and wit and humanity which abound in this picture...

Maclean's Magazine
With Limelight, for one last, brief moment, it's like old times even as the new age begins and Chaplin relinquishes his crown to the younger generations.

Some have also accused Limelight of being too sentimental, but we'd argue that's part of its charm.

Under the Radar
Chaplin handles dialogue superbly, as if he’d devoted his lengthy career to Shakespeare and Ibsen rather than pantomime. -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
Few cinema artists have delved into their own lives and emotions with such ruthlessness and with such moving results.

Product Description:
Silet film legend Charlie Chaplin plays an aging music-hall comedian who befriends a young dancer (Claire Bloom) who has attempted suicide. Highlights include a famous Chaplin-Buster Keaton comedy skit as the two comedians portray faded stars seeking an audience in a changing world. This bittersweet film wasn't released in America until 1972.
