Amelie is a charming, moving story with beautiful cinematography and wonderfully nuanced performances. Superficial bonuses: It made me want to wear clothes like hers, have hair like hers, and have furniture and an apartment like hers. This is the kind of movie that could appeal to a lot of people, and I hope that non-French-speakers won't be scared away by the fact that it's in French with subtitles. Though it seems trendy to love the movie, that also shouldn't deter anyone with a tender heart and a love of beautiful movies from seeing it. I love French movies, and this is one of the most enjoyable that I've seen. There's nothing out of place or missing from this film; I like it just the way it is. And to think, all this time the journos were scrambling to decide which *American* actress is "the new Audrey Hepburn"... 10/10
