IMO, no. I saw it for the first time, recently, and was completely dumbfounded at all the praise this film his gotten. Unlike Rico, I was not identifying all the "firsts" being captured in the film that probably help it garner accolades. But, that is part of the test of time, isn't it? What was innovative then is humdrum now.
Follow Ups:
that the first couple of times I saw Citizen Kane I was underwhelmed and wondered what all the fuss was about. After a few more viewings and some reading it dawned on me just how good it is and I have loved it ever since. I have it on Criterion Laserdisc and also the stunning recent DVD.
Never look then, again in a mirror.
