Could have been Audrey's La Vie En Rose oscar winner, instead is tedious and tepid. I wanted to see Coco as Channel with her wartime Nazi scandal and all her glamour. Still a fairly interesting look at Coco's rise.
Is it just me, or does anyone else thinking this film is heavily sponsored (even suggested by) Chanel? I am certainly not the first to have noticed the strong links between the French movie industry and the fashion industry.

Audrey Tautou, with her sparkling eyes and winning smile, established herself as one of our most beloved screen actresses in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amelie". Oddly enough, perhaps her least glamorous role is that of a fashion designer.
Coco Chanel is still one of the most signific...( read more)
Yet another uninspiring biopic, in my eyes better suited for TV consumption. Even though it starts from her early years, there is no link to how she got her inspiration nor how her creativity developed. A more suited titled should have been Coco Before She Was Interesting.

I see lots of similarity between this movie with Cottilard's La Vie en Rose, but somehow I still prefer Cottilard's.. Tautou did a good job as usual but I need more than good, I need a great one. The story will be so much better if they focus on the career not the love story whic...( read more)
I think they could have condensed it better; it's not bad but not one of the best autobio movies out there. Too many segmented, forcefed scenes and plots. Tautou is beautiful, as always. Could have been better if it showcased an equal balance of the coco and the chanel.
Vivid in many ways but still lacking. The dramatizing was rather pointless as her life was fantastic by itself, overall, it was a very good film but sub-standards due to its stubborn adherence to standards.
