Quite Good

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2015)

An un-chronological look at the life of the Little Sparrow, Édith Piaf (1915-1963). Her mother is an alcoholic street singer, her father a circus performer, her paternal grandmother a madam.
As of now (2015), Edith Piaf has been the focus of a number of films. But it would be hard to say any are better than this one, and the reason is simple: they cast the right actress. Another well-known actress was named as a potential choice, but Marion Cotillard was the only correct one -- she brings a power to the screen that few can. (She may also be the only non-English speaking actress to achieve wide acclaim in the United States).
Although I know nothing about Piaf and cannot say if this is accurate, it is certainly well presented and a joy to watch.
