Where to Watch Amélie
- Elliot04717 February 2026The film is beautifully shot, with good acting, good comedy, and good psychological realism. However, I don't fully get the film's message. Is it, Life is beautiful? of is it, Let's stalk people and ask questions later. Cinema-wise, this is perfect, crafty even, it makes you believe in the beauty of the world, and comes out as an I-am-in-my-Pjs kind of film.
- Rowan Krzysiak12 February 2025A film broadly about mental illness that slowly unravels the longer it continues when discounting a couple of cute spikes. If you can stomach the quirk (and the constant close - ups of the lead's face) then visually it does potentially have something there of note. Overall I personally found it mildly irritating.
