This morning the film is still as good.
It's one of those you keep thinking about.
But I will concede La Vie En Rose may be in the running for film of the year.
Follow Ups:
not in absolute terms but because of the hatchet job on a wonderful singer, the ridiculous amount of hype (see the beautiful young actress make herself look terrible!), and its relentless negativeness and ugliness.
All one learned from the film about the lady was that she had serious substance problems.
Duh.

Everyone I know who saw it here thought it fantastic.
It was a big hit at the film festival last year.
I hate Charlize Theron-type moments. Beautiful actresses that play uglies: it's like DeNiro putting on 60-lbs. for a role. Who cares? It's the acting that matters and it was a one-note performance.
Second, a major flaw, was the one-sided characterization of a complex character, showing her to be nothing but a non-stop drug-taking-machine.
Lives seldom are this one-dimensional, even for the most serious drug abuser.
The film was almost nihilistic and had nary a surprise, a novel thought throughout its 2-hours.
or you simply reject things too quickly and then don't truly pay attention. It certainly wasn't my favorite movie for the year... probably not even top 5 but her portrayal was anything but one dimensional.

As I Said, shame you couldn't get more from it.
it's a shame your standards are so low :-)
