5 / 5
Translated from swedish: Plenty to think about, if you're so inclined. At the same time, "Amélie" is such an enjoyable and lighthearted film that you can just sit back and go along for the ride. A film that uses all of cinema's expressive tools and makes the air a little easier to breathe.

5 / 5
Translated from swedish: I leave the cinema and head home through the autumn weather of Gothenburg with a smile on my lips. "Amélie" is a film that makes me happy for a long time afterward, and I simply can't help but give it the highest rating.

3 / 6
Translated from swedish: Here, the story gets lost in clever narrative devices, explosions of color, and playful visual solutions, and as a viewer you feel pretty worn out when there's still half an hour of the film left. But hey, you do get some encouraging words along the way, like how it's every person's right to fail at their own life. "Amélie" isn't a failure, but it's a disengaging conservative dream that's being presented.

Translated from swedish: If the word eccentric is a positive word for you, you're going to love this French classic. If you're more into mainstream movies, well, you're still going to love "Amélie". That's the magic of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's fantastic modern-day fairy tale.
