(2007). La Vie en Rose

Film critic Richard Nilsen of the Arizona Republic, wrote, “"Don't bother voting. Just give the Oscar to Marion Cotillard now.” And I must agree with Richard Nilsen because Marion Cotillard’s performance as the French – singer Edith Piaf was captivating and, by far, the greatest film performance to date, and I mean that literally. This was the only performance in 2007 for which I had given it a standing ovation. I must warn you, the film is a mess, and by mess; first, the film is spoken in French, and you the French, they intend to speak French quickly and aggressively. Secondly, every minute of screen time means years past of Edith Piaf’s life which the film transition into flash back sequences, for most, a handful of people do not enjoy. If you enjoyed Reese Witherspoon in the 2005, Walk the line, for which she won the coveted Best Actress, then you’ll like La a Mome in French, but in the United States La Vie En Rose.
