“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”

“The flight was great as was Ralph my pilot. The only disappointment was the flight time was only 15 minutes not the 20. 🤷🏼‍♂️”
