A Terribly Done Biopic with a Brilliant Central Performance

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2007)

This was a pretty terribly done film, it is somewhat saved by Marion Cotillards brilliant performance though. The editing and script were particularly bad. The weird time line was one of the worst ideas for a movie in a long time. The direction was okay. I liked the subtlety of it, but sometimes it was to much so, and it didn't click with the over the top screenplay, and editing. The technical values were fantastic, but not awards worthy. Cotillard was the only awards worthy thing in the film. She was pretty great in the central roll. Her nuances were wonderful. My number two in Best Actress so far this year, and she will most likely remain in the top five.
5/10 but only because of Cotillard.
