Is it just me, or does anyone else thinking this film is heavily sponsored (even suggested by) Chanel? I am certainly not the first to have noticed the strong links between the French movie industry and the fashion industry.
The movie never ventures beyond the shallows. It skims...( read more)
Audrey Tautou, with her sparkling eyes and winning smile, established herself as one of our most beloved screen actresses in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amelie". Oddly enough, perhaps her least glamorous role is that of a fashion designer.
Coco Chanel is still one of the most signific...( read more)
Could have been Audrey's La Vie En Rose oscar winner, instead is tedious and tepid. i wanted to see Coco as Channel with her wartime Nazi scandal and all her glamour.
Visually pleasing, Audrey Tautou is simply stunning and delivers a high calibre performance as always. However, there is too much screen time spent telling her love life. I personally would've appreciated seeing more of Coco establishing her career, but what the hell. If women mu...( read more)
Romantic, beautiful and moving... Coco Chanel comes alive with Tautou's remarkable portrayal of a legend. The film started out strong but tapered off to a weak ending, which was a pity. Overall, an enjoyable movie worth watching.
a nice insight into the life of a stubborn simplicity-obsessed fashionista. good performances from all, especially the brit "gentleman"
Audrey Tautou did a great job portraying one of the most important women of the past decade. But the really amazing features in this film are more like technical. The music is great, cinematography is beautiful and well, the costumes are freaking amazing! I hope it will take at l...( read more)
This is a Love Story. The Love of and for the two men in her life at that time, and Her love of simplicity! The story that shows how Mlle. detested fussy styles, and designed with elegant and simple lines to eschew, as much as possible complicated and overly worked style of la...( read more)
Ya had to get past the subtitles. I have read subtitles before but there was something about these... Anyway, the story was alright but I felt like something was missing as I watched it. I don't remembe "Boy" asking her to marry her although someone else did so I don't know wh...( read more)
The film, understandably, leaves you wanting more about the rest of the designer's life, but Coco Before Chanel is wisely focused on those years in which she became herself. full review
The film loses some of its fascination when Coco is unmistakably launched on her career path. But that's when the story ends; this is titled Coco Before Chanel for a reason. full review
Coco Chanel is not the most lovable of heroines, but it's a strength of the film that director Anne Fontaine allows Tautou to make Coco as cold and ungiving as she does. full review
A flat, airless tale of a sullen hooker who lucked out. full review
It's a special pleasure to watch this vibrant Coco taking in the world around her and turning it to her use, in her fashion. full review
The blossoming of her ambition, as much as her love life, drives the story forward, and turns Coco Before Chanel into a costume drama worthy of the name. full review
The film, while scaled-down, is quite beautifully woven, like a classic Chanel tweed. full review
Fontaine dramatizes Coco's struggles respectfully if mundanely, crafting believable period detail for her procession of key-life-moment scenes, all of which employ serviceable but far from groundbreak... full review
I missed the desperation that goaded the real Coco--not just the sulks that pass like rain showers across Tautou's prettiness but that brisk contempt for existing conditions which led Chanel, like any... full review
