I don't know what all the hype about this movie was about...i thought it dreadfully depressing and I couldn't wait for it to end. I kept thinking it has to improve but it didn't it got worse. what a waste of a perfectly good evening...
This was such a great bio-pic! I enjoyed watching every single second of it! Instead of it being a boring drawn out look at Edith Piaf's life, it was a gripping and powerful look at the star.
Marion Cartillard definitely embodied the spirit and soul of Edith and is more than deserving of the Best Actress Oscar. She expertly plays off her struggling teenage years, her morhpine addiction, and brilliantly lips to the great music of Piaf.
