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.

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.

Chaplin's transition to feature films also marks his transition to a blend of comedy and pathos. Although the blend is not as sophisticated as it will become in his later work, it's still pretty effective here. Coogan was a remarkably good child actor.

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.

The story is simplistic, of course, and the pacing is at times too fast, at others too slow (most notably during the gratuitous dream scene), but you'll find plenty of the sweet and the funny scenes that Chaplin does so well in later movies.
