(after repeat viewings) Undoubtedly Chaplin's most personal endeavour. Grief and laughter complement each other throughout, evoked effortlessly by Jackie Coogan's heartwarming performance, which was so real and moving, and the one by Chaplin himself, a man whose own life had been shaped by the experience of parental abandonment. "A picture with a smile and perhaps a tear", damn straight.

The main reason why most young children in movies are so jarring is that their vocal delivery isn't good enough. Their physical acting is usually fine, it's just that they can't open their mouths without breaking the illusion. The good news is, children in silent movies can hold their own against and even surpass their adult co-stars, and that's exactly what Jackie Coogan does in The Kid. The film isn't quite as good as Chaplin's later work, but it's a nice mix of melodrama and comedy.

Not Chaplin's most consistent story, he'd go on to even better movies, but the way he mixes nimble slapstick with actually effective melodrama and social commentary (seriously, it's a 1921 movie about out-of-wedlock pregnancy that refuses to blame the woman for it) is brilliant. And of course, Jackie Coogan puts in a fantastic performance.

I don't think it's Chaplin's strongest in terms of comedy, story, or romance. But their are few things sweeter in film than watching Chaplin and Jackie Coogan's scenes together. The scene where they try to take him to an orphanage is overwhelmingly emotional.

Without doubt a master work of cinema. This film has everything all packed into about 50 minutes and it never feels rushed or disingenuous. As good as Chaplin is (and that is very good in this case) he is upstaged by Coogan - the Kid pelting rocks at windows and then bolting is perfect cinematic comedy. The relationship between the Tramp and the Kid is a (moving) picture of love. Hilarious, funny and poignant. Chaplin gets everything right on this occasion.

The Kid does a great job of producing a cute memorable story. The moments of comedy only add to the cute father son relationship between The Tramp and The Kid and the moments of drama are heightened by the foundation set up earlier in the movie. The little kid did a wonderful job in this movie. As a self-avowed kid actor hater, I really thought this kid did a good job. It didn't hurt that this was a silent movie. This movie really shows how silent can still be a good stylistic choice.

Chaplin would go on to direct bigger and better and films, but The Kid, his feature length debut, has an emotional directness that is sincere and difficult to fault. A simple dramedy about a man who raises an abandoned child, only to have him taken away from him when he falls ill, The Kid has no real ambition other than emotionally moving viewers and making them laugh. Coogan is memorable as the kid and there are some great set pieces; and Chaplin's score is genuinely poignant.

So sweet. There's something about Chaplin's charm that lets him tug at my heartstrings all he wants without rubbing me the wrong way. He makes a film here that is both really funny and heartwrenching (it helps that the kid is so darn irresistible and emotive). This is also my favorite role for Chaplin, since he has a feminine sweetness that is perfect as the "mother" to the kid.

This is an exquisite film up to about the time the kid gets taken by the orphanage. After that, still very good. It's a great introduction to more mature Chaplin though, blending comedy and drama so well. Several shots scattered throughout the first two-thirds of the film are heartbreaking and poignant, a testament to Chaplin's eye for poetic composition. This poetry is never more evident than when Purviance sits on the step, baby in hand, in front of her son. The entire sequence shines.

A very touching film. It's much less concerned with slapstick comedy (though there's still plenty of that) and has a real emotional heart to it. The little boy playing the kid was cute, charming and could sell emotion well. Chaplin was his usual brilliant self, of course. An easily enjoyable film.

A simplistic, sentimental tale elevated by the charisma of Chaplin and the titular kid. Some chuckle-worthy gags and some truly affecting scenes (the iconic rooftop chase probably stands out) are enough to make the film compelling, although this is probably too melodramatic for my tastes.

Sweet and sentimental Chaplin effort is notable for a great child performance from Coogan, as well as a touching, well developed one from Purviance (far from Chaplin's usual damsel in distress); the sincerity that Chaplin infuses into the familial story gets this sometimes uneven effort over some pot holes and digressions (the "dream" denouement feels suspiciously like padding). A good time as always with Chaplin, but this may have benefited from less of the Tramp and more of the "A" story.

Imagine that this movie is over 100 years old today! Crazy to think of just how comedy can be timeless like this, still making me laugh and also feel sympathy towards The Tramp. There's drama there in the midst of comedy and while I felt like the dream sequence didn't quite fit in with the rest of the movie, it's still a brilliant movie.

A pretty upsetting film for a Charlie Chaplin production. But I like my humour upsetting, and some of the scenes in this movie are pretty laugh-out-loud funny (if you have a sick sense of humour like I do), like when the kid hits the crying bully in the face, ha-ha! This is also quite a touching film, most of this coming from the kid actor who is extremely good.

A wonderfully bittersweet affair filled with clever visual humour and heartbreaking sequences and successful in evoking both laughter and sadness. Coogan is fantastic as is Chaplin. It’s the prologue to what was yet to come from Chaplin and a sincere expression of his own childhood as well as adulthood predicaments, one that looks at life with comforting defiance as the two heroes fight against adverse circumstances and eventually manage to exceed them in order to rescue their dying haven.

Suitably amusing and charming, this is a lovely Chaplin film. Just think, any kid/person born around when this came out would be in their 100's now, there probably aren't many alive. Lovely thought(!) anyway... the interactions between said kid and Chaplin are enjoyable, I enjoyed the scenes featuring the young kid scarpering away, I assume these were sped up somehow(?) and the music is light and jaunty. A very enjoyable watch, I'd recommend this, yes.

(52-minute 1972 Cut) Well, guess I'm now officially someone who likes 100-year old movies. Not Chaplin's best, but irresistibly charming nonetheless. Coogan is both impossibly cute and a fantastic actor, the scene where he's being taken away to the orphanage is heart-wrenching. The fact the movie is really funny too, certainly doesn't hurt either. If you've never seen Chaplin, please, please check out his work, especially now that it's on Netflix.

Going from Buster's two-reelers to this is brutal tonal whiplash; even though I tried not to make too many direct comparisons, the pathos and melodrama was often overwhelming. And the less said about the last reel, with its padding of a dream sequence and howler of an ending, the better. That said, the production value is gorgeous, it's well-paced with minimal intertitles, and it's very funny when it wants to be. But he definitely got better at this as he went along.

It's weird to picture Coogan growing up to be Uncle Fester. Chaplin shows his skill in an early full-length, but it just feels...lackluster (?) in comparison. That's not a bad thing, as the film is still watchable, but you can see the rough sketch of what will come to be. The dream sequence, while odd, was a great moment.

Charlie Chaplin's endearing and at times heartbreaking movie about a Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) who raises an abandoned child (Jackie Coogan) is great from start to finish. Chaplin finds emotional depth in the facial expression of both him and Jackie Coogan without needing to dwell on what characters are saying to each other. He also manages to keep many great gags in the film without disrupting the flow of the film. He also executed a superb dream sequence near the end which surprised me.

'The Kid' is sometimes considered too melodramatic, Chaplin accused of being too focused on reeling the audience in rather than making them laugh - but I for one think this is a great picture & it succeeds in doing everything it wanted. At least in my case, & I'm afraid if you didn't tear up, laugh or gasp when Chaplin wanted you to then you're most probably a cyborg from the future.

"A picture with a smile - and perhaps, a tear." Chaplin's first feature length film as director is a masterpiece of sentiment and slapstick. Influential, timeless, emotionally complex and revolutionary for its time. Taken from tragic aspects of Chaplin's life with themes of poverty and paternal love. A surreal and innovative dramedy with unforgettable performances by Chaplin and Coogan. "The Kid" is one of the most successful films of the silent era and one of the greatest films of all time.

Definitely one of Charlie Chaplin's strongest movies. There are only a few things that don't sit so well with me, like the fairly long dream sequence near the end and the too-easy ending wrapping everything up. It seemed like it was going in a darker direction, but an American comedy from the 20s can't be TOO dark.

If there's reason to revere Chaplin nearly a century later - beyond his deftness with timeless comedy and romance - it's for how often his films function as reminders, without ever proselytizing, of the essential resourcefulness, humanity, and dignity of the destitute and downtrodden.

A lot of the fun in watching THE KID is just seeing Chaplin iron out some of the lumps in his aesthetic. We see how he would later reign in some of his worst tendencies and scrubbed away some of his more interesting ones. A dream sequence late in the film may go down as a career low-point in terms of sheer self-indulgence and treacle; but the verisimilitude of the slum setting and his cheerful envisioning of The Kid and The Tramp as unrepentant con men is an interesting variant in his oeuvre.

Not my favorite Chaplin (that would be MODERN TIMES), but the beginning of great things to come, and a comedy/ melodrama that actrually works on both levels.

This isn't too bad. Not really funny, but sweet. The dreamland climax is clever.

A sometimes tedious, but often effective drama with The Tramp showing his tender fatherly side.

O Garoto tinha sua première há exatos 100 anos em Chicago. Esse é um dos filmes que se vê na infância que fica meio nebuloso quanto memória e nem sei até que ponto não deveria ter deixado lá, pois a sequência com a Lita Grey é mesmo horripilante, ela não apenas é uma criança cronologicamente, ela tem cara, jeito e corpo de criança, o que torna o envolvimento do Chaplin com ela ainda mais assustador. Coleção Folha/Versátil Charles Chaplin.

Not as funny as Modern Times or The Gold Rush, nor as emotionally perfect as City Lights--all the pieces are in place, but it would take another few years for them to truly shine.

Doesn't pack the emotional punch that City Lights has and doesn't have a scene that is funnier than the boat scene in Modern Times. But it's also not as terrible as The Great Dictator, it falls somewhere in the middle of Chaplin's filmography. Some genuinely good scenes and some others that are a bit muddled and don't hold up. Not as good as I've heard but still watchable.

Dream sequence seemed out of place but the pathos of the kid when he's separated from The Tramp was moving.

Both leading characters are amazing and have a great chemistry that is portrayed without speech, truly great way to tell a remarkable story.

Amazingly fit for child and adult viewers. Seriously this is adorable. It might be perfect without that dream sequence. What on earth does it mean anyway? I think Chaplin learned to leave out unnecessary parts more effectively later on. (I wouldn't mind seeing more material from Chaplin though, of course, but this dream scene is kind of creepy.)
