    Defenitely a few great performances by Marion Cotillard, I was not too impressed by the rest. The story lacked information, the storytelling was confusing and lacked roundness. So Marion Cotillard: 4 stars, the movie 2 stars, makes 3...

    Marion Cotillard single handedly elevated this film to the status it has today. Her performance is both beautiful and heart wrenching. The film starts off a little rocky, but about 45 mintues in it picked up and became far more engaging. However, the constantly shifting timeline could have been straightened out for a less confusing experience in my opinion.

    Great life, great acting by Marion Cotillard. All stars to her!! otherwise, not my kind of film, still she was captivating. Definately deserved the Oscar. *applause*

    Slow and messy but still engaging, this movie holds together soleley because of Cotillard's exceptional performance (and, obviously, the fact that the story is interesting and Piaf's music is gorgeous). I liked the idea of presenting her life not in chronological order but as a set of memories, of feelings, but that's partly what made it a bit tedious and long. In general, it's a good movie, not extraordinary, and worth watching if only for Cotillard.

    "Cotillard gives such an emotionally riveting performance that she singlehandedly elevates the episodic biopic way above its melodramatic trappings"

    Marion Cotillard n'en finira pas de nous impressionner je crois...
    Je dois avouer que j'étais un peu déçu de ne pas retrouver son joli minois aux côtés de Sami Naceri dans le dernier Taxi... mais elle s'est excusée de la plus belle des façon en nous ressuscitant la grande Edith...
    Sans oublier les performances tout aussi remarquables de Clotilde Courau et surtout de Sylvie Testud dont le jeu débordant d'émotion confirme tout ce que l'on sait déja sur leur talent... merci les filles...!

    PS: Gerard tu sais déja tout ce que je pense de toi je pense que j'ai pas besoin de le répeter...! lol
    Change pas mon vieux t'es le meilleur !

    Et le remerciement final ira a Olivier Dahan... le cinéma français peut etre fier d'être représenté par un homme tel que lui, cette oeuvre est grandiose... merci Olivier !
