by millinocket  in Movies,  - Top 200, Nov 23 '03
Pros: Cute story, clever screenplay, beautiful photography, adorable Tatou
Cons: My French is kind of cruddy
I really don’t watch a lot of foreign films. At least subtitled foreign films. I know that means missing out on a lot of great movies, but there are so many movies in English that I’m trying to get around to seeing, that adding the entire ...

Pros: Tautou, colour and genuinely funny
Cons: Subtitles are not a fault!!!
Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's (Alien Resurrection) 2001 comedy Amelie is a film I've been meaning to see for a while now. It's a film that I knew nothing about beyond the facts that it starred Audrey Tautou, (who had me hypnotized in the Brit ...

Pros: A feast for your senses and emotions
Cons: Being ripped away from the Amelie universe
I'm so horribly late to the Amelie party. This French film with English subtitles took its sweet time getting around to my part of the world. Finally about four weeks ago, it finally came to a theater near me. It was worth the wait, and having seen ...

Pros: Fast Paced Adventure through the eyes of a french waif!
Cons: I can't wait to see the next chapter-the ride was too short.
Have you seen the new French film Amelie Yet? If not pour quoi? Hope I spelled that right. Has been years since French class in High School. Need a refresher course? You must see this foreign film. I find there is a foreign film audience....

Pros: Great cast, amazing originality
Cons: The language barrier
Amelie is one of those rare gems that slips over from Europe and into American theatres. It was nominated for quite a few Oscars, and for good reason. This is one of the best films to be made in the past few years.
Amelie is about a very...

Pros: Funny script, well-filmed, different
Cons: Erratic pacing with subtitles

Pros: Cinematography, performances, direction, -a warm and uplifting romantic comedy
Cons: None whatsoever
If you are strapped for cash, and can only buy one DVD this whole summer season, save your pennies for this one. It is a French film that has won international acclaim. It is beautifully filmed, wonderfully written and directed, and is a romantic comedy...

Pros: Everything. Everything.
Cons: Did you not read what I said above?!
Back in 2001, when Amelie first came out, I vividly remember all the hype surrounding the film. I remember hearing school friends telling me that this was one of the best films of the year. I remember hearing critics worldwide ...

Pros: Acting, Dialogue, Cinematography, Mood
Cons: Aucun (None)
Classes are done for the semester, and I’m going to take enough time off from studying so that I can write this review. I’m doing it mainly because I think you all need to know about a superb film called Amélie. Well, it’s actually called Le...

by lynus - Top 200, Aug 05 '02
Pros: Audrey Tautou, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, comic greatness.
Cons: Long - but I didn't care.
Why you should not see Amelie. It’s French with English subtitles, it’s a love story, and it’s over two hours long. Okay so I’m lying, about the “not” part – but I got your attention, didn’t I?
Honestly, I find it extremely hard to...

Pros: This delightful movie is Pollyanna all grown up.
Cons: Only that I don't own it yet.
I saw this movie in St. Lambert, Quebec, Canada. My friend and I still don't know why, but her dvd did not have subtitles. We think it's because of Quebec's stand on everything having to be in French. So, she had to translate the whole movie to me....

Pros: Production design; love story; characters; life affirming
Cons: Give me a moment...
I've seen my fair share of films that try to get a rise out of me. But then there’s the oft chance of an influx in the movie biz that produces that special kind of film that makes you want to hug everything in sight. Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s pleasant...

by metalluk - Top 100, Mar 22 '04
Pros: Witty, visually stylish, beautifully paced, wonderfully sentimental, and great performance by Tautou
Cons: A small minority of viewers will find it too sweetly sentimental
Amélie is a sweet, whimsical modern fairytale with a style and feel all its own. It seems to have been expressly designed to fill viewers with wonder, awe, and warm fuzzy feelings, by combining light-hearted drama and quirky humor into a ...

by ALawston , Oct 25 '01
Pros: Astonishing visual feast, leaves you with a warm glowy feeling.
Cons: Nothing significant.
You may already have seen the trailers for Amelie in American cinemas. The simple tale of a young girl wanting to improve the lives of the people around her suggests the sort of feelgood movie that many people are going to be needing after the...
