The Tramp struggles to live in modern industrial society with the help of a young homeless woman.
Where to Watch Modern Times
- Rowan KrzysiakApril 24, 2026I would cite it as one of my favourite films. A century later it can still entertain the broadest of audiences. It provides explicit and subtle commentary on topics that are still core to our existence. Only the best of Pixar get close to such an achievement. The fight and determination of the Gamin wells me up every time. I love it.
- stuhannafordAugust 26, 2025An enjoyable watch, whilst dated. A simple to follow story of day to day struggles, that probably resonate still, in more Modern Times. Considering the film was languishing behind, even when released, it offers a slapstick comedy that still raises a smile, and a sadness that elicits empathy… whilst barely a word is spoken.
