I am not worthy to write about this film. "This is what The Movies are supposed to be all about,
magical, transporting confections of dreams and hopes and kindness
and true love -- all the really important things in life." "Amélie is the genuine feel-good article." "It deserves to be cherished, hugged and celebrated." "Unique and original, this film is simply charming."
"Displays an infectious joy in the simple things of life…and
a true romantic's faith in the infinite possibilities of the
human heart." "Adjectives like magical and charming can only approximate
its ability to create an appealing fantasy world. It's a rich
and imaginative work that delights from the opening credits,
a sweet confection that should be savored more than once…In
many ways it's as light and sweet as cotton candy. But unlike
the circus confection, its essence will stay with you long after
you've enjoyed it." "May be 2001's most charming, creative and ultimately
touching film… the feel-good movie of the year." "The film is also so dedicated to the sweetness at its
core that it's impossible to dislike much. " "In a year when so many films dealt with the darker side
of "dreams vs. reality" – we're finally offered
a cinematic dream that we'd rather not wake from." "There is originality and style galore as pretty Amelie
works hard to make positive changes in the lives of those around
her." "It’s a magical romp that will leave you smiling
at the end." "From start to finish, "Amelie" is a captivating
charmer." "Anyone who loves movies will have no defense against
the seductions of Amelie" "This delight of whimsical wonderment is a feat of light-hearted
genius…I could honestly write a 5,000-word essay exalting
the extraordinary pleasures of this surreal romantic fable of
captivating coincidence and manufactured magic…Suffice
it to say, "Amélie" is without question the
best movie I've seen in five years." "From the magical opening to the enchanting closing scenes,
Amélie is something special — a foolproof way to
lift your spirits." "Playful, surreal, and highly imaginative, "Amélie"
is just what the doctor ordered, a cinematic delight." "'Amelie' is a delicious pastry of a movie, a lighthearted
fantasy… You see it, and later when you think about it,
you smile." "'Cute' is the primary word to describe this film. Everything
about it is cute." "There's so much here, and all of it delightful." "An infectiously delightful and magical film that's absolutely
entertaining and fun to watch, and is guaranteed to leave viewers
with a satisfied smile on their faces." "Cynics can scoff all they want, but why, when it's simply
easier to just surrender to the magic?" "See it, love it, and let Amélie renew your connection
with life’s simple pleasures – when it’s over,
you’ll wonder how you lived this long without it." "Charming, inventive and witty" "There's real magic in this movie -- and enough energy
to power a whole city on a dark and gloomy night." "A delirious sensory experience from start to finish." "If you could bottle Amélie, there would be no
ill in the world." "Is it possible to describe to another what pure, unadulterated
joy feels like? Because thats the expression one leaves the
theater with after seeing Amelie ..." "A feel-good movie in the best possible sense, a comic
fable that vibrates with joy and fast-dances with life." "Probably the most easily enjoyable movie of the year.
It's a ragtag blend of surreal images and good-natured, quirky
charm that's both visually and emotionally intoxicating." "A witty, exuberant sugar rush for the art house." "If you’ve been feeling sluggish and grumpy lately.
I recommend daily viewings. If it doesn’t make you wildly
happy, then I want to hear from you." "It will give you the kind of feeling that you wish you
could bottle up and carry with you for the rest of your days." French |
