Review: This is a most wonderful movie. Capturing the energy, vitality and spriteliness of an enchanting young lady, the movie flies through a determined search for a fellow who just might be... well... the love of her life. But how does she know for sure? And how does she communicate this? In her own wonderfully quirky way, that's how. The movie is surprising, and uses an interesting method to push the plot along. You really do have to see it, but the use of imagery, photos, and artistic games lures both of these characters to one another. The test is in whether the fellow will understand her manner, and she's convinced of it because she thinks that she understands his obsession with getting passport photos from booths all over subway stations. The movie is playful in such a charming way. Sold from beginning to end. The result is a feeling of warmth, and a smile is just bound to creep all over your face.

Review: Now I am ready for beddy bye. I gave it 45 minutes of my time. I was bored from the start. Very odd movie. One of the first irritating things about the movie was the constant narration. I suppose the movie is supposed to be funny. I did not laugh! I did not find anything enjoyable about the film. I also could not watch the Royal Tennenbaums. Although the stories are different the films both have the narration and odd characters. Just not my thing I guess!

Review: I see there are many many reviews for this film, and Ive only seen it once but I was totally blown away by it, and I would urge anyone and everyone to give this movie a try. Subtitles can ..., I know, but this movie is so good it makes up for them. I hope I don't reveal too much of the film with this review, either, so if you haven't watched it, why are you reading this, go and get it! For those still reading, the first thing I noticed was the interesting cinematography, from the sped up shot of Amelie's mother's gestation (which was odd but cool), and the shots of our heroine's Montmarte (I think) environment. The film presents interesting camera angles, which work well with the suspense element, as well as showing the conflicting emotions presented throughout the film. Amelie's world is made up of vibrant colors, which fit snugly with her bubbly personality, and provide a nice contrast when she dresses in dark colors and since she has dark hair. Speaking of Amelie... Audrey Tautou, never heard of her before, but I instantly fell in love with her after watching this film. The writers and directors did an excellent job of creating her character, with her heart melting shyness, intruging alone time, and her elaborate strategies, but I think the actress stole the show hands down. She did a flawless job of portraying her character, has that sweet little girl voice, and is so cute (pranking the phone repair people, in the theater, returning the book to the porn shop, the list goes on...) that I cant help myself. The other characters were definitely secondary, as many seemed one dimensional even though they had different emotions, but they are all well acted and each have their own unique placement in Amelie's life and times. This movie had an uncanny ability to totally draw me in. I missed I think 2 phone calls while watching it, and totally lost track of time. I was cheering for Amelie during her two excursions, and vocalized my angst and sorrow when they didn't work out, much to the bewilderment of my family, who was home at the same time but not watching the film. With that said, you can probably imagine my reaction at the end. I would rank this movie somewhere in my top 10 of all time, and it's the first real 'feel good' movie that really made me feel good for more than an hour after its conclusion. Everyone at my school and my work has been told to watch it, and now I am telling you to, as well. It's lovely, a truly astonishing piece of film. You will not be disappointed.

Review: This is the best film I have seen in a long time. Not only is it laugh out loud funny, but also touches the heart in a non-mooshy way. I loved the film so much, I watched it back to back two days in a row. My husband loved it too. It has the perfect recipe for humor, love and learning some of life's most precious learnings. I highly recommend this movie.

Review: I play Amelie whenever I'm feeling depressed or alone. The quirky music and bright colors bring light into a dull, gray day. Amelie is a hopeless romanitic--romantic because of her wild and wishful dreams, and hopeless because of her inability to fulfill any of them for herself. She does, however, discover the joy of helping other people find their dreams, or at least brighten their day. Although I would advise against trying to get two cafe-regulars together to "fulfill their dreams" in real life, don't be afraid to indulge a little bit with this movie.
Also, the DVD has some great extras. My favorites include Audrey Tautou's audition, and an explanation of the colors, camera angles and other tricks/themes used throughout the movie.

Review: The cover design on this was enough to make me think this is a world class girl's movie, but my wife brought it home and I agreed to watch it, more to be with her than see the movie.
What a surprise. Interesting to watch visually, quirky French characters in a well done comedy about being alive and doing something about it; off-beat, surprising, and yes, charming. French with English subtitles, very much worth watching.

Summary: Dichotomy
Review: This film is superb. The use of colors throughout the story add to the other-dimensional quality -- it transports you into a modern day faerie story. The film follows Chaos Theory and Possibly Divine Intervention. And let's face it, Audrey Tautou is adorable. Every movement and expression is pure gold. She sprinkles pixie dust with glee throughout the film... and we are allowed to see inside her. We are allowed to see when she is not all flirts and giggles. This film is a must see for fans of French cinema and especially all who loved The City of Lost Children.

Summary: Visually and emotionally captivating
Review: Not new to the works of Jeunet, I found this film a wonderful departure from the morbid themes of his previous films. Full of magical realism and intimate detail, this film pulls at the heart and is not about finding mister right but finding one's self. Rich in color and content, it will pull at the romantic in you.
