Brilliant, Touching and Perfect

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2018)

I was forced to see this movie. I am not a fan of foreign films or music but this was one movie that entranced me from the word Go. I went into this knowing nothing about Edith Piaf and the life she led but the story just gripped me. To say Marion Cotillard's performance was brilliant was an understatement. She was superb. Truly brilliant in every way. The story gives a brutal and honest portayal of the harsh life this impoverished singer had and the type of background she came from before finding fame. Piaf was indeed a character and Cotillard portrays this brilliantly on the screen. I was completely entranced. Fully recommend this movie to everyone
