ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE
A very hard story told in an amazing way by the director OLIVIER DAHAN who should be nominated for his great job in this film, in the same way MARION COTILLARD must be called to compete for an OSCAR for her extraordinary role in the movie. She carries the story all the time. I will give nominations also for best COSTUME DESIGN and ART DIRECTION. Worth to watch.

umm... i'm pretty sure it never ended
it was hard to follow because it jumped sequence a lot. it seemed like it dragged on and on and we kept wondering when it would end. we were the only three in the theater so we were yelling "THE END" after every cut scene.

Superb Cotillard Makes "La Vie"
I was so happy to find this film playing in a city that art films often find no home in that I ran out the first night to see it. I was not disappointed. Fans of Edith Piaf will cherish this very non-American bio-pic of her life.
On the other hand, not a good date movie. I overheard one young woman saying to her escort, "Sorry....!" He responded, "Well, it was unique."
Marion Cotillard deserves all the acclaim she has received for this role. She absoultely inhabits it. I was reminded so poignantly at times of the parallels between Piaf and Judy Garland, especially during the on-stage and backstage scenes.
If your city, like mine, needs more of these films, see it to support them.

Stirring lifestory
I didn't realize how much of her music I knew until I watched her life. Her story was amazing and tragic. Must see!!

Beautiful movie
This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. What a film! Marion Cotillard was a master, definitely acadamy award winning performance. Her acting was so passionate, so deep, so brilliant. I was very moved and impressed by the artistic excellence in all areas of the film. The makeup was extraordinary, the music, direction, camera work, all great. Must see this intense and brilliant film.
