Beautiful Lies (2010)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This movie was an awful attempt to relive the beauty that was the movie "Amelie", ain't happening. Avoid this movie if you are an Amelie fan, all it will do is depress you to see our beloved Amelie 10 years older and trying to relive the glory of the past. OK it's making me write more, sorry to bore you with more text than necessary, but here goes. The plot was OK for about 20 min, though it was sad to see Amelie reborn as a tired worn out character who has had probably gone through 100 boyfriends by this point (this time she is named "emilie"). then it dragged and dragged until the writers found a way out of the mess they had created and just ended the story with a denouement and put us all out of our misery :)

While many scenes in this film are really funny and there's nice acting, the main problem is that the plot just doesn't make any sense. It's forced from the beginning and continues to get more unbelievable by the minute. And to top that: Emilie (played by Tautou) is, simply, a bitch, and her love interest Jean (Sami Bouajila) is a really nice guy, and the least one can expect from a romantic comedy is that such a nice guy ends up with a woman who deserves his adoration. Instead he ends up with the bitch. Maybe this was supposed to be a modern screwball comedy, but for that there was too much emotional pain (inflicted on Jean and on Maddy, Emilie's mother, played adorably by Nathalie Baye). Now, if Jean and Maddy would have escaped Emilies schemes for good, this film still wouldn't be believable but at least have a happy ending!

The first impression of this movie is of a pretty little French film with a very pretty little Audrey Tautou playing a character called Emilie. And if that doesn't remind you of the French classic Amelie, nothing will.So far, so good.One day, Emilie receives a romantic letter from co-worker Jean (don't get excited, Jean is a guy's name in France). However, as the letter is sent anonymously, Emilie bins it, assuming it to be from some crazy old customer.A little later, Emilie realises that her mother is very depressed about her love life, which will only be made worse when she finds out her father is planning to remarry. And so, Emilie innocently decides to pass on the love letter to her mother to cheer her up… …obviously nothing could possibly go wrong. Until her mother gets upset that a second letter hasn't been sent… This film had all the ingredients to be a really nice film (i.e. Audrey Tautou), but as it progresses any trace of innocence is stripped away layer by layer. By the time we reach the end, the lies being told have nothing remotely "beautiful" about them. They're just cruel and twisted.First impressions can be deceiving.

Not very often a film deserves 10 out of 10. The story is based on a misunderstanding that escalates out of control. Very clever movie absolutely fantastic script direction and acting, a total joy to watch.At the start a love letter is read out that is incredible and really is truly romantic.But guys be prepared to feel inadequate when it comes to your romantic side, my wife on hearing the love letter went completely wobbly (so did I but don't tell anyone), but don't worry I think I stunned her later with my own.'Roses are red violets are blue I love a girl and choogey choogey koo'Make sure you watch this movie you will love it.
