What comes across most powerfully is Jeunet's athletic, playful directing style, a tour de force of tricks, gags and effects.

Amelie and Nino's love story bursts forth in a colorful fantasia. Their wild goose chase of romance soars as high as Bruno Delbonnel's absinthe-tinged camerawork. And their kiss makes for one of the Zeroes' most tender and quietly sensual.

The movie is joyful and whimsical, floating through Monmartre with its tounge placed firmly in cheek.

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
It's European-style magic realism if you like.

Decent Films Guide
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.
