This is one of the best of Chaplin's 10's short films. Besides hilarious gags in life and food in the farm, and the usual socially engaged portrayal of exploited enployee/poor people, Sunnyside may be highlighted for two additional and uncommon traits in Chaplin's filmography: 1) there is more dark humour, and 2) Méliès-like special effects are perfectly used to simulate transitions from reality to dream. A must-see among numerous Chaplin's short films.
