Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

wvriend This biopic is interesting as it depicts a life story against the background France (Paris in particular) during a foregone era (1915-1960). The theatrical performance of Marion Cotillard, who portrays Piaf, is praised but can also get on your nerves as her performance merely portrayed a caricature.

Abhishek Srivastava I am convinced that this is one of the finest acting feats for a biopic by any actor along with Jamie Foxx for Ray and Meryl Streep for the Iron Lady come to mind. Also Charlize Theron for Monster.As in all the cases, Marion Cotillard is able to bring to the screen the charisma of the character that she is portraying and that is what gets you hooked.There is a lot of content, which is somewhat non-linear and can be a little irritating at times and a little tiring.The characterization of Edith Piaf from Poverty and struggle to riches based only on her talent is quite inspiring.The film shows the vulnerability that the best of the talents have to endure from the mass of attention that surrounds them. It is not always easy to cope with them and those that can't, end up very miserable.However, this film in general doesn't seem to have much purpose, e.g. to address the larger music scene. It tends to focus only on Piaf and her strong hallucinations as well as tantrums. It would have been nice had the film had a broader context. But nonetheless, the film handled its content quite nicely but lacked a sense of direction in general.If you are looking for great acting performances, watch this. If you are looking for great stories, this may be skipped.

Thanos Karagioras "La Vie en Rose" is the biography of the French singer Édith Piaf who was regarded as France's national diva, as well as being one of France's greatest international stars.In this movie we the outstanding interpretation of Marion Cotillard (Won the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role), who plays as Edith Piaf and I think that this interpretation of her was her best and I liked it very much. I also liked the interpretation of Gérard Depardieu who plays as Louis Leplée (he gave to Edith Piaf her nickname as La Môme Piaf = The Little Sparrow) a close friend of Edith Piaf who helped her at her start as singer.Finally I think that "La Vie en Rose" is a really good Biography movie that shows us from what difficulties Edith Piaf passed to become the singer we know today. With this movie you will understand how difficult was that and you will feel all her emotions and that was another one reason which I liked the interpretation of Marion Cotillard because she makes you feel all that emotions.

kastri_gr La Mome is one of the greatest non-us films in the decade.It is about the life of one of the greatest French singers Edith Piaf portrayed by a very talented and very beautiful woman named Marion Cotillard.Of course other great French actors play such as Gerard Departieu,Emmanuelle Seigner,Sylvie Testud and many others.The film starts and ends with the same scene,showing Edith Piaf sining on stage.It starts from the age of 9 where she was raised in her Grandma's house and then later at a circus where by accidentally she finds out her secret gift her voice.Then we see her in the 30s and 40s how she developed as an artist,her great love that she never managed to see,her daughter who died very young and her deal she had with cancer which in the end it killed her.The last scene she is shown performing the beautiful song ''Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien'' in my opinion one of her greatest songs.Excellent film i do not wonder why it won so many awards with top the two winning academy awards for best acting role for Marion Cotillard and best make-up.This film truly shows what the European Cinema can achieve.
