this movie is so beautiful in the way that it illustrates the power of music and love, and in the way we see very clearly the tragic figure that was cut by the most stunning of chanteuses, Edith Piaf.

A worthy tribute to a national icon. A responsibility well sensed and well served by the beautiful and talented Marion Cotillard!

Really good, if youre looking to read subtitles or if you speak French. Good story, doesnt hold back. Cortillard is AMAZING

The story moved like a sailboat over smooth water, even if the plot was sometimes confusing with all the different time periods. It's an interesting way to tell the overdone story of the singer hard on her luck. Her struggle has less to do with the misuse of drugs as it does with the misconception of drugs' healing powers. Instead of watching the slow downfall of this wonderful singer, we see the downfall then are told how it happened. It's a genius film with some geniuses behind it.

i can't believe i didn't see that movie before! Amazing! it goes into my top ten right away. best of best. you feel LIFE as it is in this movie.

This biopic is compelling, left me mentally exhausted though.
Cotillar is amazing, brilliant acting.

Most of us have heard the name Edith Piaf, but I'm willing to bet there are few who knows much about her.

La Vie en Rose helps us getting to know her, and it's a fascinating journey, although somewhat sadder than I had expected. First class drama, and very interesting for serious music fans.

A remarkable portrait by Marion Cotillard so uncannily rich and detailed it defies description. Screen acting just doesn't get much better than this.

There's a riveting tale within this awkward litany of pivotal moments. Still, despite the film's uneven nature, Cotillard's extraordinary performance is worth experiencing.

It is hard not to admire Ms. Cotillard for the discipline and ferocity she brings to the role. But it is equally hard to be completely swept up in Mr. Dahan's dutiful, functional and ultimately superficial film.

[Director Dahan's] approach draws more attention to the filmmaking than it does to the life. Dahan seems to believe that chronology is bourgeois: Pure storytelling is all fine and dandy, but he wants us to know he's making art.

I left the theater with a resounding headache.
