I am so glad The Artist is opening here in San Francisco this weekend so I can see it and have opinions that are all my own. I’m also happy that Jessica Chastain is getting the attention we all knew she deserved. I just hope her multiple awards-worthy performances don’t shut each other out come Oscar time.
