Impish gamine Amélie (Audrey Tautou) lives alone and works in a café. When she finds a trove of toys hidden for 40 years behind a baseboard in her apartment, she's inspired to repatriate the items, an impulse of generosity that sparks more benevolent acts.

In his solo effort, Jeunet puts aside the darkly humorous sensibility of his previous films (Delicatessen, co-directed with Caro)in the service of a sweet but toothless (and sexless) romantic comedy that's bound to make lead Audrey Tautou a star.

Adorable beyond belief, [Audrey Tatou] wins our hearts with a performance that could comfortably exist in silent cinema.

Jeunet's film is an ambitious, rich, and rewarding experience, packed end-to-end with delightful creativity.

This is London

Charms with its breezy, stylized storytelling [and] the wide eyes and breathless expression of Audrey Tautou… liabilities include a slightly dragged-out resolution and a rather amoral view of sexuality.

While this is generally the kind of overly-whimsical, light-hearted yet pretentious, foreign art-house crapola I tend to avoid, I gotta say this was pretty good

Tautou's inherent charm, garnished with a gaze of innocent sexuality, lends the character of Amélie the perfect recipe for audiences to take her to their collective hearts.
