    Not a waiste of time, it's entertaining
    I'm not a particular fan of silent movies. I only watch parts of it and get tired of it. This one had me interested throughout the movie. I liked the overacting, big gestures and big eye movements. Also the story about mixed races and relatable themes are today still relevant. I liked it, you can watch this and not have waisted an hour of your life.
