GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

zhangmeizhuu Audrey Tatou not just have a good acting skills but also a great voice (if it was really her singing in this movie). In this movie, you'll see the life of women in this period and the very luxurious life of the rich people. Truly are the French have the most luxurious parties and outfits before. I'm so glad to have found this movie as I'm a big fan of movies like The Duchess, Marie Antoinette, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen and the like. I wonder what will happen to us if Coco Chanel didn't invent those dresses before...I can't stand the itch and the tightness of the dress maybe...Anyway, I'll be looking forward to Coco and Igor Stravinsky movie soon. I hope it won't let me down.

gkeith_1 Fascinating story. Chanel's designs were simple and elegant. I love Chanel No. 5; it is my favorite perfume. It is worth every penny of the cost. I enjoyed this movie. Coco wanted to be in charge of her life. She did not mind having a few men help her. Besides, men always have more money than women, anyway. She seemed to have more brains than they did, however. I saw the other movie about her, where she hooks up with Igor Stravinsky. In this movie, she was a very hard worker who knew how she wanted her fashions to turn out. She was very exacting. Her hats were beautiful. She was stark in her criticisms of the popular frou frou fashions of the day. She showed that one can believe in one's talents, provide a needed service, and make money that makes up for all of the hard work and dedication.

Allis Mild (MyFilmHabit) There was no better choice to play this iconic, fashion figure than Audrey Tautou. She's just so . . . French—100%, through and through. In fact, she does such a good job transforming herself into this grande dame that I'm never going to be able to watch another actress play Coco Chanel again without comparing her (probably unfavorably) to Audrey. All this, of course, bodes ill for my future enjoyment of Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky. (I'm still watching it, though, because it actually picks up more or less where this film leaves off). The film explores Coco Chanel's humble, working class origins—singing in bars, and gold- digging from wealthy men. The movie actually portrays her as being quite brazen in the way she finagles favors out of the landed gentry. I guess when you haven't got much to lose, there's no reason not to just go for it. Still, it would take a very industrious, unabashed personality to do this. But then, pretty girls have always been able to get away with all kinds of outrageous things.So, this movie is very grand and high-budget, with beautiful, refined people discussing very classy things. And, honestly it would be a bit of a snoozefest if I weren't interested in learning more about the historical figures involved. The fact that the film is about very fascinating people, and that we want to learn how they became what they're known for today, buys these actors a little more time to recite their dull, meditative lines, while smoking cigarettes and gazing into the mid-distance. It's all very stylish. But, as we all know, fashionable doesn't always translate into wildly entertaining. I'm not saying that the movie is tedious. The production value is wonderful, and the subject matter is very interesting. But, fortunately director, Anne Fontaine, doesn't get too carried away. The film clocks in at a thankfully restrained 110 minutes. I always appreciate a director who can realistically assess her work. So, I did enjoy this film. I'm glad I watched it. I was kind of obligated since it's one of those sweeping period pieces that panels love considering for various cinematic awards. But, it wasn't a chore (the way some others have been). Still, it's not a movie to attempt if you're feeling at all fidgety or distracted.

Rimike Omolekulo Not only am I a lover of the French language (which made the movie more appealing) but i loved the style of cinematography- there was something fresh and innocent about the way each character was portrayed. Also, the atmosphere and surroundings of the film also deemed to hold this notion; almost like pathetic fallacy.... We see young Coco in a 'field' of melancholy, in the orphanage she was subjected to as a child. Expressing her hope; as she waited for her father during visiting hours in a columned alley as though to represent the famous idiom: "light at the end of the tunnel" to depict both her abstract feelings of hope and the actual nature of her life that awaits her. As the film continues, the atmosphere and mood of the film naturally transcends from deep melancholy to moods of indulgence, luxury and exposure to green pastures. Audrey Tatou, being one of my favourite, admired actress's made the movie what it was because she was so natural and indulgent in the way Coco was known to behave- witty, subtly confident and suave. In addition to her contribution to the success of the film: Alessandro Nivola and Benoît Poelvoorde enhanced the relationship and personal insight of the film to the audience. Overall, the film should be a muse; for both the audience and for other biographical film writers/directors. I have read people complain about how the film missed out Coco's liaisons with certain subjects etc.... but really, the movie is called Coco before Chanel. The film was made to expose the basic outline of Coco's success in the fashion industry (hence the Chanel), the emotional and personal struggle and success Coco experienced. It was Unbiased and inspiring, giving me more reason to commend & recommend the film. it was beautiful.i have a lot to say about the film, but i would rather keep it brief; short and sweet.
