Piaf Biopic Is as Good as They Get

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2020)

Marion Cotillard won a Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of "The Little Sparrow," Edith Piaf, whose dramatic rise to fame from poverty, and whose poignant singing made her synonymous with Paris nightlife in the 1950s. Of course we get to hear the immortal title song, but also the equally compelling "Non, je ne regrette rien" in Piaf's own voice, in this superb biopic. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
