Summary: beautiful movie~
Review: Aesthetically, the scenes were lovely and colorful. Each shot was like a painting!
Also, c'est une belle histoire! It's a beautiful story with quirky humor. The creatures that are the main characters are wierd but strangely beautiful and empathetic. It's an art piece but it's also great for Friday night and a bowl of popcorn.

Review: WOW! What a movie going experience this was. I saw this film in Canada over the Christmas/New years Holidays and was blown away. It gave me such a happy feeling inside. The cinematography was visually rich. There was so much happening behind the first layer on screen-behind the actors. Your eyes will dance all over the screen at this superb movie-
Buy it now. I know ,I cannot wait to have this movie in my permanent DVD collection, based on theatrical performance>

Summary: something different
Review: "Amelie" is an imaginatively conceived, well-directed French film that will capture your interest. Whimsical, young and light-hearted, Amelie searches for love. This fresh-spirited movie has surprises around every corner. The French subtitles are no problem as you will easily enter Amelie's world. Highly recommended!

Summary: Amazingly clever story
Review: No one can tell you what the Matrix is...

Sorry, wrong movie but the sentiment is appropriate. It's a story of a young woman who comes out of herself in an amazing way. Her cleverness and originality are amazing to behold. You can watch this over and over and not get it all.

There are some situations in the movie that as a Christian, I would not be proud of or condone in my own life, but I found the story wonderful nonetheless.

Summary: One of my most favorite movies
Review: Amelie is the first foreign movie among those I have watched which I think is great. A funny, dramatic and romantic plot. The storyline is not complicated but still very gripping. Excellent photography and film shots. The colors used throughout the whole movie are incredible, making it just like an art film. It is the kind of movie that you want to sit down, relax and watch with your lover. If you haven't watched this movie in the theater, be sure you don't miss it on video.

Summary: Heavenly!
Review: I don't know, but after seeing "Amelie", I just suddenly had this overwhelming craving for strawberries with cream. The stylized imagery of "Amelie" is simply delicious and lush, from the opening credits to the end. It is nothing like real life; it is reality that could only happen in film. And only in film as only the French could do it.

Wide-eyed Audrey Tautou is wonderful as Amelie in this storybook-like story. Amelie is a 23-year-old waitress working in a Paris cafe, but she might as well be Madeline, that popular little denizen of Paris, for all her mischief and her child-like eagerness to make things right for other people. A very unlikely story for a very jaded world. But director Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a genius for pulling it off , and the score by Yanni Tiersen is a gem ( a must-buy--just listening to it conjures images of Paris sidewalks and cafes).

See "Amelie", and helplessly fall in love.

Summary: Innovative and enchanting
Review: A charming story, amazing actors, and one of the most talented directors on the planet. What more could you ask for in a film? "Amelie" is particularly notable for its use of voice-over narration throughout: a technique decried by Hollywood but which works brilliantly here, neatly matched by quick editing and playful production design which all ensure that this fable never reaches for a realism which would have the audience rejecting it. Instead, it draws us completely in. Never one to be limited by convention, Jeunet has the extraordinary ability to grab the medium by the horns and make it serve his imagination. Whatever else happens in his films, you can always count on getting something wonderfully original which not only entertains, but which also expands the possibilities of filmmaking.

Summary: practically perfect in every way
Review: Amelie makes the watcher reminiscent of the glory days when a movie could be an outing full of wonderment, when you could be transported to a time and place where you felt complete bliss. the story is pure gold. Amelie's helping of others makes you want to follow in her footsteps. it is truly sad that a movie of this caliber cannot be found in production at any American film studio. Amelie was robbed of it's Oscar but everyone who watches it will keep a place in their hearts that will always belong to Amelie.

Summary: Incredible
Review: I absolutley loved this movie. I usually am not fond of these types of movies (chick flicks). Thinking this is a chick flick, I entered the theatre doubtful. The movie started and I could not take my eyes off it. The star, Audrey Tautou, is absolutely stunning. Her mixture of beauty, brains, and bashfulness make her perfect for the role. Like I said, I'm a high-school guy who is not into the chick flicks, I like the Farrelly bros., John Waters, John Woo, and Kevin Smith. This IS NOT a chick flick, it is for everyone. It is my belief that this is one of the 10 best movies ever made.
