Quite long but too long.

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2007)

"La vie en rose" is a too long movie.The director's choice to make flashbacks between the main "highlights" of Edith was maybe a mistake.Nevertheless I liked the movie even if I think that the part on Edith Piaf's childhood was useless.
Marion Cotillard ("A very long engagement","Big fish" and "A good year") performs her part brilliantly.She gives a spell biding tour de force performance.She is Piaf heart and soul.
I do hope that picture house will campaign her for the Oscar but the "low" quality of the movie could damaged her chances to be nominated to the Oscar.
