So so

Very good acting, sets and costumes, but the plot needed some work. The story dragged on and while it wasn't at all as melodramatic as someone might expect, I can't help but feel that the story only got more exciting right at the end, when Chanel had become a full fledged couturier.
We only got a few minutes of a more stern and collected business-woman, who made her way into a male dominated field by using both her eye for the aesthetic and a true philosophy of what female fashion should be like. A view at Chanel at the start of her career, rather than right before it, would've made a better movie, I think.

liked it then but in retrospect thinking about all the nazi sympathising it feels weird

Big fan of Audrey so was looking forward to this,but have to say i thought it was a very dull film.Seemed like a poor TV drama,it was a struggle to watch to the end

nice to see audrey branch out into serious stern roles, shows her versatility

Oooh I just loved this film! This was beautifully made. Audrey Tautou strikes again, and was just gorgeous in this, as Ms. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. I could watch this again and again and love it every single time.

One of my favourite films. Audrey is sensational. Costumes, script, chacterisation and casting - c'est res fantastique.

Fantastic biopic (and pretty historically accurate). Audrey Tatou was very good, and Alessandro Nivola shows his incredible acting range and smouldering stare to perfection. I heart him so much! I learned a lot and found this to be very entertaining. What a strange creature Chanel was!

Pirms šī dāma kļuva par CHANEL viņa bija vienkārši KOKO. Meitene no zemajām aprindām, kura strādā par šuvēju un lētā bārā dzied piedauzīgas dziesmeles. Biogrāfisks stāsts par modes ikonu un viņas ceļu no pašas dzīves apakšas līdz pašām virsotnēm. Tas, ka Odrija Tatū ir vispiemērotākā šis lomas atveidotāja, tas liekas tik pašsaprotami, ka filmu vispār nebūtu iespējams skatīties, lai arī cik spēcīgs būtu scenārijs un režija, ja viņas vietā būtu kāda cita. Tatū vienkārši tik fantastiski nospēlē savulaik nesaprasto, apsmieto un daudz aprunāto un daudzu brīžu augstākās sabiedrības nepieņemto Šaneles jaunkundzi, ka liekas, ka viņa arī ir pati leģenda. Filmas pēdējie kadri kad, nu jau par ikonu kļuvusī dāma vienkārši sēž uz kāpnēm un tādā, kā izbrīnā, tādā kā nesaprašanā noraugās uz sev veltītajiem aplausiem, kā saka norauj jumtu. Iesaku.

A pretty insightful and interesting movie about how Gabrielle Chanel becomes Coco Chanel. Even if you're not super into fashion, this is still enjoyable
