Marion Cotillard's Oscar win? Totally justified...Many questions remain for those of us unschooled in Piaf lore. I was confused by some of the causes even as I felt the emotional effects, thanks to deep performances.

Much like the colorful life of the film's subject, La Vie en Rose explores the strange and emotional life of torch singer Edith Piaf and gives Marion Cotillard an Oscar for her tremendous performance.

Cotillard joins Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) and Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) in so completely embodying a role that it seems more possession than performance.

Acaba funcionando mais como atestado do talento de sua protagonista, Marion Cotillard, do que como um tributo digno da magnífica cantora que esta interpreta.

Marion Cotillard is the only reason to sit through La Vie En Rose, a biopic that compounds its basic tediousness by fracturing its narrative in a vain effort to mask a stale rise-and-fall arc.

Edith Piaf has plenty of tragedy in her life, so the movie is dark and moody, but it's compelling and Marion Cotillard's performance is impossible to forget.

It's a mixed bag, snippets of Piaf's life in no particular order, crowned by one fantastic performance by Cotillard.

Dahan's film is less an ode or a valentine, more of a spectacle of pity, mainly worth watching for Cotillard.

A relentlessly-depressing, warts-and-all biopic which depicts the untimely demise of a diva due to the toll taken on her body and soul by a combination of unfortunate disasters.

... one of the best films about a great artist to be made since Milos Forman's Amadeus. Cotillard deserves an Oscar.

It follows the same template as all the other biopics but produces better-than-usual results, thanks to a shattering central performance.

Pursued, caught and devoured by the past, [Piaf] nearly shouts the lyric, "Je me fous du passé!": I don't give a damn about the past.

Cotillard's lip-synching of her character singing didn't do it for me.

Una biografía inspirada, que repasa la vida de Edith Piaf desde la emoción y los recuerdos en lugar de ser una mera sucesión de acontecimientos. Marion Cotillard no interpreta a Piaf, es Piaf.
