The use of the her native French language only adds to the impressionistic feel of this account of the singer, Edith Piaf's life. Like her early stage name "little sparrow" suggests it flits between her successes, early life and final years to build up a picture of a life characterised by extreme hardship, tragedy, self destruction and a search of love and acceptance.If you were to give advice to a woman, what would it be? "Love." To a young girl? "Love." To a child? "Love."Cotillard as Piaf is simply astonishing in this - perfectly conveying her transformation from early awkwardness to diva powerhouse to physical decline.
Verdict: Luminous and melancholy.
