In that respect, it was very well made. For me personally, it moved slowy at times and the music of the songstress portrayed in the movie was not music that I found entertaining (with a few exceptions).

Mainly because the songs were not subtitled. What a waste to sit through an entire song not knowing what words are being sung let alone an entire movie filled with obviously passionate lyrics. It was a waste of time. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Although I enjoyed the film, the acting was great and the music outstanding of course, it was painfully slow, and due to the back and forth, somewhat confusing. It could have been more viewable. Here's one case where Hollywood might have done a better job. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I enjoyed the portrayal of Edith Piaf by Marion Cottilard - actually it was amazing. However, the story itself in this film just jumps all over the place - very annoying in a 2.5 hr movie. Also I do agree with others that said the subtitles flashed too fast (and I watch foreign films all the time and seldom bothered by them - in this case I was) and in addition I also agree that there should have been subtitles for the words of the many songs she sang through-out the film. Very very odd that there was not - in other films lyrics to songs being sung are normally subtitled in italics - but in this movie about a singer's life the very words to her songs are left a mystery to those of us that do not speak French. So I cannot say I watched this with any amount of ease or totally enjoyed, but Ms Cottilard 's performance could not be denyed. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

After 10 minutes, I gave up. I found it impossible to keep up with the captions and watch the movie at the same time. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

There were many references that the director assumed his audience knew. Edith Piaf was an egotistical unattractive lush. I have enough of that in my own family. What a mess.
