I love Coco Chanel and I love Audrey Tautou, so this combination was bound to be pure bliss, and it was. She plays the part perfectly. However, I do share the opinion of many others, the film is too focused on Coco's love life, whereas her relationships with men is the least interesting thing about her. She is not a woman who should be defined by that particular aspect of her life, as she is so much more than that. But although that was a bit of a letdown, I still enjoyed it tremendously and I love the way she was portrayed. When you cast Tautou, you don't need any more actors for she will carry the film entirely, and she didn't disappoint in this one.

I went to the midnight screening of this and it was amazing. Although the hysterical fans "woo"ing and clapping all the time when Edward entered or Jacob showing off his muscles was highly irritating, it did not ruin the fun for me, and even added to the atmosphere a bit. I was quite taken by surprise, it is a rather good attempt at adapting the book to screen. What I really enjoyed was the light-heartedness in the beginning in contrast to the emotional hole Bella falls in later on. They caught that just right. I think Stewart could have done more with her acting in some parts, but overall she was quite amazing. I think this film does a much better job at staying true to the essence of the book than the previous one, which really satisfies me. It definitely leaves you hanging for Eclipse.
