Review of Amélie (2001) by Spangle — 06 Jun 2015
Fast paced, whimsical, enchanting, and an all around pleasure to watch, Amelie is a little feel good film that you cannot help but watch with a smile on your face. With quick cuts, lively editing, and an all around frenetic pace, Amelie whisks you into the world of Amelie, a lonely girl living outside of Paris.
After discovering a small box belonging to a boy 40 years earlier, she seeks out the owner. Eventually, she continues to do nice things for random people, never seeking recognition, but simply wanting to watch a stranger smile and be happy for once.
A shining light in a dark world, Amelie also manages to make its audience smile. It is just as funny as it needs to be, but is entirely heart warming throughout. It is also really well made. It is well shot, the colors are so lively and seem to really pop in this film, the direction is strong, and the acting is really good.
Overall, Amelie is a fun film straight from France that never ceases to entertain.
