Amélie (2001)

Based on 31 critic reviews provided by

100	Washington Post Desson Thomson A movie for aesthetically hungry moviegoers: wildly amusing, sometimes sardonic and always touching. There's so much here, and all of it delightful.
91	Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum The charming movie, already an international success, seduces.
90	The New York Times A.O. Scott There is no denying that Amélie is, to paraphrase its title, fabulous.
90	Washington Post Rita Kempley Amelie is joie de vivre in a nougat.
88	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert A delicious pastry of a movie -- You see it, and later when you think about it, you smile.
88	USA Today Claudia Puig Irresistibly endearing, with a visual verve all its own.
88	Boston Globe Jay Carr Delightful and original, the film conjures up a corner of Paris distinct and specific, yet fairy-tale fanciful.
80	Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern An endearing film, and a fascinating one.
75	San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle A charmer, a movie whose embrace of cinema is so passionate it could be mistaken for an embrace of life.
40	Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan Features an aggressive, in-your-face romanticism that's noticeably lacking in genuine warmth. While its story of lonely misfits searching for love has appealing moments, more often it turns into an overbearing fable overburdened with fake joie de vivre.
