Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
Tautou is gloriously alive in the title role.
Nov 16, 2001
A delectable French confection ... sure to please America's sweet tooth.
Nov 9, 2001So terrific it might single-handedly rescue the 'feel-good movie' from the garbage heap of overused and discredited phrases.
Full Review|Nov 9, 2001Do not be surprised to see Amelie pull a Crouching Tiger and be nominated as both best foreign film and best film.
Full Review|Nov 9, 2001Delightful and original, the film conjures up a corner of Paris distinct and specific, yet fairy-tale fanciful.
Nov 9, 2001Tautou provides Amelie with its beating heart.
Nov 8, 2001Features an aggressive, in-your-face romanticism that's noticeably lacking in genuine warmth.
Full Review|Nov 2, 2001While Amelie the plucky girl beguiles, Amelie the charming movie, already an international success, seduces.
Full Review|Nov 1, 2001It is a rare thing to have an illuminating experience whilst watching a film, but that is exactly what is encountered with Amelie.
Full Review|Jan 4, 2012Jeunet's film is an ambitious, rich, and rewarding experience, packed end-to-end with delightful creativity.
Full Review|Dec 6, 2004Charms 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.
Full Review|Jul 19, 2003Tautou captures the innocence, joie-de-vivre, and even the delightful naivete of...do you notice me using all these French words?
Full Review|Feb 8, 2003It will give you the kind of feeling that you wish you could bottle up and carry with you for the rest of your days.
Full Review|Dec 8, 2002Amelie is both brave and wise enough to consider happiness an emotion worthy of artistic taste.
Sep 3, 2002Audrey Tautou's puppy dog eyes and other exaggerated facial expressions do manage to charm you, no matter how calculated they are.
Full Review|Jun 15, 2002The sunniest face and the greatest acclaim belong to Audrey Tautou, who is new to these shores. A delight in the title role, she's like a young Audrey Hepburn, making us laugh and feel empathy without feeling manipulated.
Full Review|Nov 9, 2001A movie whose embrace of cinema is so passionate it could be mistaken for an embrace of life.
Full Review|Nov 9, 2001One leaves the theater thinking, as so many Americans of past generations have, 'Ah, there's always Paris.' And there will always be Amelie, too.
Full Review|Nov 9, 2001The first half of this insistently goofy romantic comedy buzzes with the marauding ingenuity of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, but it overstays its welcome.
Full Review|Nov 2, 2001What comes across most powerfully is Jeunet's athletic, playful directing style, a tour de force of tricks, gags and effects.
Full Review|Oct 13, 2011In 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.
Full Review|Mar 29, 2007If you liked the quirky German film Run Lola Run and the romanticism of Chocolat, you'll want to see this whimsical new-wave picture
Full Review|Jun 25, 2004While 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
Full Review|Mar 18, 2003The funniest foreign language film I've seen, 'Amelie" is a life-affirming satire that transcends reality.
Jan 29, 2003Full of smart images, powered by hope and humanity, Amelie is a shining celebration of the possibilities of love.
Full Review|Nov 7, 2002Amelie's only major crime is how dull it can often be even while being so deliberately elaborate.
Full Review|Jul 17, 2002Audrey Tautou with her big brown eyes and exquisite eyebrows is reminiscent of Leslie Caron as Gigi or Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly.
Full Review|Jul 9, 2002A romantic comedy that stubbornly refuses to play by the rules, 'Amelie' could be this generation's 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'
Full Review|Jun 9, 2002There's so much here, and all of it delightful.
Nov 9, 2001Anyone who loves movies will have no defense against the seductions of Amelie -- either the film or the young woman.
Full Review|Nov 9, 2001The more you know of the French way of, say, roasting a chicken or organizing a handbag, the funnier and more delightful you will find this film.
Nov 9, 2001There's real magic in this movie -- and enough energy to power a whole city on a dark and gloomy night.
Nov 8, 2001It's hard to be charmed, hard to think of a movie as a delightful trifle, when you're so conscious of how hard the filmmakers are working to make it charming.
Full Review|Nov 3, 2001Fairly irresistible if you can keep your cynicism in check for a couple of hours.
Nov 2, 2001It is overwritten and overdirected for the quaint, simple feelings it attempts to project.
Nov 1, 2001It's the kind of motion picture that's both intelligent and immensely likable -- just like the main character.
Full Review|Oct 30, 2001A magnificent movie -- made a masterpiece by Audrey Tautou.
Jul 25, 2011Amelie 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.
Full Review|Sep 25, 2010Adorable beyond belief, [Audrey Tatou] wins our hearts with a performance that could comfortably exist in silent cinema.
Mar 31, 2005Tautou's inherent charm, garnished with a gaze of innocent sexuality, lends the character of Amelie the perfect recipe for audiences to take her to their collective hearts.
Full Review|Feb 13, 2003In all, Tautou is the most adorable Frenchwoman to grace movie screens since we first laid eyes on La Binoche in The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
Full Review|Dec 8, 2002Amelie is filled with memorable characters brought to life by a terrific cast, and nobody is better than [Audrey] Tautou, the radiant beauty in the title role.
Sep 20, 2002Child's Play---Leisure and imagination fill the streets of Paris in 'Amelie '
Jul 15, 2002Tautou...is absolutely delightful playing the simple, lovable, waiflike lead character, who is so irresistibly drawn to people yet unable to interrelate with them.
Jul 7, 2002Amelie's lesson for us is that every moment is one that we all share, no matter how we spend it.
Jun 18, 2002A charming, modern-day fairy tale - tucked in the frames are wonderful little surprises like eating strawberries from your fingers and clouds that look like bunnies.
