Is it just me, or does anyone else thinking this film is heavily sponsored (even suggested by) Chanel? I am certainly not the first to have noticed the strong links between the French movie industry and the fashion industry.
The movie never ventures beyond the shallows. It skims...( read more)
Audrey Tautou, with her sparkling eyes and winning smile, established herself as one of our most beloved screen actresses in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amelie". Oddly enough, perhaps her least glamorous role is that of a fashion designer.
Coco Chanel is still one of the most signific...( read more)
Could have been Audrey's La Vie En Rose oscar winner, instead is tedious and tepid. i wanted to see Coco as Channel with her wartime Nazi scandal and all her glamour.
Visually pleasing, Audrey Tautou is simply stunning and delivers a high calibre performance as always. However, there is too much screen time spent telling her love life. I personally would've appreciated seeing more of Coco establishing her career, but what the hell. If women mu...( read more)
I love Coco Chanel and I love Audrey Tautou, so this combination was bound to be pure bliss, and it was. She plays the part perfectly. However, I do share the opinion of many others, the film is too focused on Coco's love life, whereas her relationships with men is the least inte...( read more)
I really enjoy the film, but expect more. The criativity of Chanel for fashion lost space for romance. I want to see more about fashion, and after she get famous.
I love Audrey Tautou! Lynn and I learned a few things....better mistress than wife; love hurts and (some) men cheat.
Great movie...very interesting woman from historic point of view, from the fashion point of view. Takes us back to the fashions essential purposes: simplicity, elegance and femininity
The film, understandably, leaves you wanting more about the rest of the designer's life, but Coco Before Chanel is wisely focused on those years in which she became herself. full review
The film loses some of its fascination when Coco is unmistakably launched on her career path. But that's when the story ends; this is titled Coco Before Chanel for a reason. full review
Coco Chanel is not the most lovable of heroines, but it's a strength of the film that director Anne Fontaine allows Tautou to make Coco as cold and ungiving as she does. full review
A flat, airless tale of a sullen hooker who lucked out. full review
It's a special pleasure to watch this vibrant Coco taking in the world around her and turning it to her use, in her fashion. full review
The blossoming of her ambition, as much as her love life, drives the story forward, and turns Coco Before Chanel into a costume drama worthy of the name. full review
The film, while scaled-down, is quite beautifully woven, like a classic Chanel tweed. full review
Fontaine dramatizes Coco's struggles respectfully if mundanely, crafting believable period detail for her procession of key-life-moment scenes, all of which employ serviceable but far from groundbreak... full review
I missed the desperation that goaded the real Coco--not just the sulks that pass like rain showers across Tautou's prettiness but that brisk contempt for existing conditions which led Chanel, like any... full review
