Monumental performance by Cotillard but the film is only good

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2008)

Actress Marion Cotillard brings an extraordinary and monumental performance as Edith Piaf in this film,La Vie en Rose.But,aside from that great performance,the film is not great and,with the exception of Cotillard's performance,I could not find something memorable about it.La Vie en Rose is a little bit boring on some scenes and the film commits the fail a lot of biopics have:it shows Piaf's life but it never shows her motivations and psychology. I think that some of the biopics which avoided that fail are Kinsey,Capote and Veronica Guerin.Still,it's not a bad movie and,except some moments,it's entertaining.La Vie en Rose is a good film but,with the exception of Cotillard's extraordinary performance,I do not find something memorable in it.
