In this week’s Critics’ Pick, A. O. Scott looks back at the 1927 silent film “The General,” a movie that “turns the intractable and cruel laws of physics into cinematic poetry,” he says. The film was written by, directed by and stars Buster Keaton.

Have you seen “The General?” Please share your thoughts on this and other Buster Keaton films.
