8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Marion Cotillard delivers a gripping portrayal of the great French singer Edith Piaf. It's an intimate portrait from within, about Piaf's profound pain and sorrow, and about the great joy of being on stage and singing.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Marion Cotillard absolutely shines as Édith Piaf. She has the same posture, the same raspy way of speaking, and the same vulnerability that became Piaf's signature. While Cotillard doesn't actually sing herself, she easily gives the impression that she does.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Marion Cotillard is one moment a bright-eyed teenager, the next a heavily made-up wreck – Edith was very old when she died at the age of 47. She's good, but it's the songs that make the film. The voice is Piaf's.

Translated from swedish: "La Vie En Rose" is something as unusual as a film where the story is at the absolute center. Often a film can be carried by skilled actors or a really good director, but the film about Edith Piaf's life reaches moviegoers precisely through the power of the story.
