Summary: A dream Movie
Review: I watched (I should say I enjoyed) this movie in France last summer with my girl friend who didn't understand french and she is now in a hurry to watch it again with subtitles coz she loved it even if she didn't get the dialogues. I tell you this to show that this movie isn't only good for its dialogues but also for its wonderfull colored pictures.

JUST GO AND WATCH IT! I guess you do not need any longer recommandations (I dont mean mine but see all the others) otherwise you're really picky...

Summary: Puts a smile on your face
Review: This has to be one of the nicest movies I've ever seen. The story revolves around a girl, who as a child had few friends, and now in her 20s she waits tables in a bar in Paris. Suddenly one evening, she finds a hole in the wall of her bathroom, and in it is a box, full of little momentos, that the child of the previous resident must have owned. She then sets herself on a quest of restoring the box and its contents to its owner, and she tells herself that if she manages to make the owner happy she will start getting involved in other peoples lives.... However that is far from the main point of the movie, it is also about the little things in life, the little everday pleasures that one forgets or does not pay enough attention to.

This movie was a great pleasure to watch. The camera work was incredible, with shots that are not at all typical and a welcome break from the usual US films.

This is one of these movies that you walk out of with a big smile on your face that could last for hours.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movie EVER
Review: This movie is one of the best movie ever made, here no fighting, no death, no explosion, but love, love of life, good feelings, not to say that it's a Disney, far from that. The movie is about people, simple but complex people with great feelings. It's a movie about life, memories, childhood and all the little things that make life enjoyable. It's a movie for people who like life. If you cry it's only by pleasure, and you will !
I've seen this movie two times in France, and I think I will come to see another couple of time in USA, and you can add me on the DVDs pre-order list !

Summary: Best Film in Years
Review: I saw this film in Europe and I must say that the film makers and the actors & actresses in this film are simply wonderful. I would stage a bet that says there is not one single man alive that would not fall madly in love with the main character Amelie. I have a friend in Paris that told me that after the filming of this movie, there is a scene in the film which takes place at a public phone box, people came and cut the phone recievers from the phone boxes simply because Amelie might have held them. As lame and childish as that may sound... go see the film, and maybe you will see why they wanted to have something that this sweet heart held to her trademark red lips.

Summary: AMAZING French Film!!!
Review: I saw this film on one of my last days studying abroad in Besançon, France, and it changed my LIFE! Amelie is an awe inspiring character, who brings love, joy, and LIFE to the screen. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me THINK. I loved it, and I can't wait until it's here, so I can share it with my friends and family!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When cinema restores your faith in the world
Review: What an incredible journey this movie takes you on. Destined to be one of those films that is "buzzed" about from the Toronto International Film Festival and it deserves all the acclaim it will receive (remember it at Oscar time for Foreign Film). Amelie took me to another world from the opening credits and I would do anything to return there. Amazing story, incredible cinematography and Audrey Tautou is one the finds of the year in this role. Treat yourself to see this movie. Anyone who loves movies (and I mean cinema .. not Hollywood) will find themselves rewarded by this film in ways no other movie has this year!!!!!

Simply magic.

Summary: Amélie
Review: Amélie - like arisen from a fairytale, Amélie from Wonderland, no, Amélie Poulain from Montmartre in Paris, enchanting big brown impish eyes, lips so red and charming, always smiling, her saucy hair cut, a girl you're simply smitten with.
Amélie enjoys to help, surprise and bring good luck to her neighbours in the lovely area around SacreCoeur, but always secretly, hiding herself. Only once it almost went wrong for her, because our clever little hidden fairy fell in love with the man she'd just helped. But how could any romantic love story ever end sadly with tears in Paris? So go and see the end of the movie and you will wish to be part of it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What are you doing reading this? Go see this film!
Review: I studied abroad in Paris this past spring, and _Amelie_ (known in French as _Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain_, a much more creative title) was one of the defining experiences of my time there. This film cannot fail to fill the viewer with joy, be it through its warm color palette depiction of Paris, through its haunting musical score, or through the heart-warming performance of Audrey Tautou as a naive, sprite-like Parisian girl who decides to bring joy to her neighbors' sad lives and in doing so, finds love herself (the romantic interest is sweetly interpreted by Mathieu Kassovitz, distinguished director of _La Haine_). The stylized performances of the cast together with Jeunet's meticulous cinematography, eclectic editing, and seemingly magical touch weave a spectacular and unforgettable film. Don't miss it.
