Summary: a beautiful movie
Review: This is one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time it is a pretty simple movie about a girl helping her friends and trying to take risks in relationships .
It doesn't make the slightest difference if you hate subtitles after five minutes you will be so wrapped up in the movie you won't even notice them.

Summary: a feast for the eyes and the mind
Review: Theres only one problem with Amelie, it proves what dross we are forced into watching by corporate american studios.
This is an amazing film, and definately Jeunets best, if you liked any of his other incredibly stylistic offerings, you will adore this.
From the opening scene you know you are in for a treat, the editing and camera angles are mesmerising, and evry shot seems to have been composed with every possible thought, as Amalie herself says she enjoys spotting the litlle details in films that noone else notices, keep your eyes open.
Audrey Tatou is incredible, shes plays Amelie like a dream, but every part in the film is so well played and the depth given to even minor characters makes the film come to life even more strogly.
The story is funny and packed with insight and observation.
This is why we love cinema

Summary: Unique and refreshing!
Review: I can write for hours about french filming, but there are not to many french films that uplift you. This is a beautiful, funny and warm comedy, with a great message for you. Don't miss it, and keep it on your DVD collection.

Summary: This my favorite movie of all times!
Review: It's sassy and sparkly and full of love and wit. It endeared me to my little odd quirks and the quirks of others too. It made me want to hear accordion music and bake a plum tart and go and sit and smile with an elderly neighbor. I've found myself wearing red and yellow, putting flat perfect skipping stones in my pockets, and trying to speak French.
Now I have to go out for creme brulee and take a chance on love...

Review: Amelie is the most surprising and uplifting film I have seen in years. It is not only a charming farce of sorts, but wonderfully filmed and acted.

Summary: rarest blend of filmmaking
Review: A splendid script, an actress who distills Chaplin, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe, the most creative use of digital effects to help the storyline, an effervescent score --- it was criminal that it was denied best foreign film. Like all of us, Amelie weaves personal mythology and dreamscape into a life which is far more than any exterior observer (all but one, the Glass Man, whose fragile bones keep him indoors painting and repainting a Renoir, while observing her across the way) can imagine. When she discovers a tin box holding some boy's memorabilia from decades back, she decides to return Lost Time to him, and finds that small acts can tilt others' destinies around her in unexpected ways. Also like all of us, when the same forces evidently conspire to give her the perfect invitation to introduce herself to the man she's most attracted to, she weaves an elaborate trail of clues and evasions through Paris, tempting fate with a sort of child's gamble, desperately hoping that destiny will, no matter how much she runs from it, bring them together. The film is filled with sharp little surprises and sudden laughter as her match-making gambits, her schemes of retribution against the vegetable seller who abuses his retarded assistant, and the plan to get her father to follow in the footsteps of the globe-trotting garden gnome she steals from his garden, all pay off. This vision of one young woman's inner world and her conspiracy to outwit mundane fate has the dreamlike timelessness that mark the best films ever made. A film that can fill one with warmth and bring a smile to the face just by telling another person about it is very, very rare.

Summary: Quite a work of art
Review: This movie breaks the scale of new and inovative cinematography. The best way to describe it would be an inspiring work of art. The colors just jump off the screen as well as the characters. Greatest work I have seen from the young and talented Audrey Tautou. I would recommend this movie to anyone due to the fact that it is my favorite movie of all times. If you can't buy it at least rent it when it is released because i garentee you will be buying it after all.
