I found myself really enjoying this little film that screened at the Laemmle. While done on a tiny budget the story was solid and the acting pretty good. I tend to be a low budget horror movie fanatic and have to say this is certainly not your standard horror. However it is clever and more of a "road" movie thriller with incredibly witty dialogue. Chloe Traicos is definitely the main reason to watch this movie. As the sociopathic Jackie she is quite electrifying and brilliant to watch. I enjoyed many of the characters in the movie especially Jim the barman who was played by Asger Folmann - a fantastic actor who I wanted to see more of. On the whole a solidly good little film. Would definitely recommend it.

I was forced to see this movie. I am not a fan of foreign films or music but this was one movie that entranced me from the word Go. I went into this knowing nothing about Edith Piaf and the life she led but the story just gripped me. To say Marion Cotillard's performance was brilliant was an understatement. She was superb. Truly brilliant in every way. The story gives a brutal and honest portayal of the harsh life this impoverished singer had and the type of background she came from before finding fame. Piaf was indeed a character and Cotillard portrays this brilliantly on the screen. I was completely entranced. Fully recommend this movie to everyone
