Nigel Andrews Financial Times 01/22/2020
The audience, unfortunately, will regret if they get snarled up in this 2 1/2 hours' traffic jam of song, schmaltz, and melodrama. Go to Full Review Patrick Gibbs Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/22/2020
Fairly factual. I dare say, but rather embarrassing to this spectator. Go to Full Review Tim Pulleine Guardian 01/22/2020
The film is exhilarating. Here is a director in total command of his medium, reveling in Piafs conspicuous consumption. Go to Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 01/15/2008
A lavish, empty reverential film of strictly limited appeal outside France. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/24/2014 Lelouch version of the Edith Piaf/Marcel Cerdan love story is accompanied by fictional love story that is less interesting and somewhat repetitive. Lelouch camera flourishes abound, but the music and production design are great and make up for somewhat mixed result with storyline and performances.
