Amélie
At a tiny Parisian café, the adorable yet painfully shy Amélie accidentally discovers a gift for helping others. Soon Amelie is spending her days as a matchmaker, guardian angel, and all-around do-gooder. But when she bumps into a handsome stranger, will she find the courage to become the star of her very own love story?
Critics Sentiment
Diana's death news leads Amélie to find Bretodeau's box
Amélie plays elaborate games with Nino around Paris
The film drops significantly during Amélie's prolonged cat-and-mouse games with Nino, where critics found her behavior irritatingly childish, before recovering for the satisfying romantic resolution.
Amélie starts exceptionally strong with its whimsical childhood sequences and early good deeds, maintaining high sentiment through most of the first two acts. The film stumbles in its extended middle section where Amélie's games become tedious, but recovers with a genuinely satisfying romantic conclusion that left most viewers feeling uplifted.
