Wonderful submitted by chuntoon on June 24, 2012, 10:40pm This wonderful and whimsical film, follows Amelie Poulain, a young waitress in Montmartre who is just trying to figure out what life is about. She realizes that she gains fulfillment by performing random acts of kindness. Colorful, beautifully filmed and acted.

cute and quirky submitted by jjdijkstra81 on July 13, 2012, 3:28am cute and quirky, not your "average" film, thank God, which is why I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

lovely submitted by jgzhang on July 16, 2012, 1:37pm A quirky, original film starring Audrey Tautou as the kind-hearted dreamer Amelie. The depiction of Parisian life, though idealized, is very charming.

Awesome! submitted by Amber Kinder on June 15, 2013, 11:57am This is one of my favorite movies! I used to watch it all the time to practice my french. It's different and cute and incredibly entertaining.

Amelie submitted by a2sue on July 16, 2013, 6:41am I don't usually enjoy foreign language films, but this one was outstanding! I absolutely adored it.

delightful submitted by sumsaylor on July 15, 2015, 8:30pm A quirky movie with a great soundtrack!

Looking for some happiness? submitted by teri on July 2, 2019, 1:36pm We just watched this again and enjoyed it as much or more than the first time.
It's totally different - eccentric, fun, sweet.

Interesting characters submitted by ccrose on August 21, 2019, 1:15am . Amalie has a propensity for helping something happen for someone who aches to achieve their dreams. Amalie has developed a talent for bringing insight to someone who can’t get unstuck from problems they have created. A fairytale, or an alternate universe of possibilities for love. The sets that have just a slightly off-kilter feel, saturated colors, buildings that lean. A beautiful soundtrack of music,too!

Well submitted by jibkidder on July 25, 2022, 11:43pm This film presumes you will love Amelie. The director has carved her out in such a way, that you are pressured, so thoroughly, to be charmed by her, and to be charmed by Yann Tiersen. But what if you don't love Amelie? What if the pressure to love you just makes you despise her? It seems this is the primary problem with the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the emotional manipulation.
