Summary: Amélie - a star is born
Review: I saw this film on its release here in Paris. It is the best film to come out of Jean-Pierre Jeunet since Delicatessen. If you liked this or any of his other films you will love this. With a lighter style, warmer touch and gifted sense of humour this has to be one of the best films of the year here. It has me crying with happiness, sadness and wonder every time I see it. I would recommend it to anyone!

Summary: Amelie, The grestest things that we can Gift .....
Review: I'm a French Guy, and the new movie of jeunet (alone this time) is a beautiful history who take place in the historical place of MontMartre in Paris, it's a new sort of movie, a movie cho transport the spectator in a sanctuary of harmony and peaceful, With his beautiful character, jeunet has make a Love stoy in Paris From "Prevers" like a poety act .. on the technical way, Jeunet is more creaters than "the city of the lost children" and le color retouch make a style all the during of the movie. .. The music is exceptionnal and no one like Yann Tiersen have been compose for this title... The French Cinema in a very good day .... A French guy who have arlready see the movie ..

Summary: An entrancing experience
Review: Often I find that movies and photographs can create a world more fantastical than what they are filming by exaggerating colors and perspectives. It is just this technique that makes Amelie such an enjoyable movie for me. From the moment the opening credits roll, the combination of rich colors, delicious French dialog, and ambient music draws you into a delightful fantasy world. As many detractors have noted, the plot is not particularly believable, nor is there an overbearing sense of "good" and "evil" like the majority of popular films create. Sometimes Amelie does not make the "moral" choice, like when she booby-traps the grocer's apartment, but she is never mean-spirited; she targets the grocer in retaliation for treating his mentally retarded assistant poorly. Those who look to movies for examples of perfectly moral and righteous protagonists will not find one in Amelie. People who cannot find affection for Amelie's distant crush Nino after learning that he works in a shop that sells sex toys are also advised to pass over this movie for something more puritan. What Amelie can provide is the story of a solitary, resourceful (not to mention good-looking) French girl and her quest to find happiness in a lush and storybook-like Paris. It is a movie that always leaves me feeling happy and emotionally awake, similar to the effect that "American Beauty" has on me (though Amelie does not venture into dark subject matter like American Beauty does).

Review: A beautiful movie about a simple, and pretty weird girl. Pay particular attention to the beautiful color selection and Audrey Tautou's flawless acting. Amelie is the feel-good movie of our times and is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

Summary: Ten star gem and a pure delight
Review: Audrey Tautou is one of my favorite actresses whose films I always look forward to, and whom I wish would make more films. Watching a certain Internet travel company and their gnome reminds me of this delightful film. Picture an eccentric (in a positive way) young woman whose only desire is to help people become happy.
What I so enjoyed about the film is the photography - cinematography and sites of Paris - France that I recognized. And the actors are all such a delight to watch. It is one of those films where you wish it would go on for hours rather than 122 minutes, which go by way to fast. The French as in this film do for colour film what Woody Allen does for black and white. They hold your attention and embrace you into the story as if you were a bystander observing.

Summary: As Good as French Cinema Gets: Amelie is Charming
Review: Suspend all disbelief and allow this charming film lull you into its dreamscape. This is French cinema at its best and you certainly won't need to uncork `89 La Fitte Rothschild to let this one captivate your spirit. Amelie is a warm and life affirming film that proves that no matter what station in life we hold we can engage ourselves and make life worth living on the most profound levels and then find true happiness. Think this sounds like a fairy tale? Well just sit back and watch you'll see what I mean.
As the film opens up we see a younger version of Amelie and her friendless life and through the dynamic hues of the filming and dreamy French music we get an idea for what we are in for. The cinematography is fantastic and if nothing else, watch the movie just to see how beautiful Paris can be. As the film progresses we see Amelie in "the present" she is still detached and after finding a box of old things begins performing random acts of kindness from afar. The big question is she going interact with the world on a personal level and ever find what is missing in her life.
I really liked this film but I will admit that it requires a child-like naiveté to watch at some points but the lovely feel of this movie does its best to make this easy on the viewer with its soundtrack and use of CGI. If you are a fan of Audrey Tautou you should catch A Very Long Engagement. Amelie is terrific you will love it and the director commentary track is worth the price of the DVD itself.
