In black and white and silent, I would describe The Artist as a parody of the early silent movies. It certainly stands alone in the current cinema-fare. The story revolves around the sudden change in movie-making from silent to sound. I would have enjoyed it more if I had been ignorant of the high praise so universally heaped upon it. I'm glad we went and can recommend it but suggest you go with modest expectations.
A couple of weeks ago we saw The Help, a movie about African-American maids' points of view of the white families for which they work. It has received well-deserved high praise and I highly recommend it.
