Marion Cotillard deserved the Oscar.She earned it.
Her performance was amazing.
The movie was not.
Although I had, of course, heard of Edith Piaf, I had no idea what a mess her life was.
As portrayed in La Vie En Rose, or La Mome, as it is called in France, Piaf's life was one melodramatic episode after another.
After having read a little about her online, it appears the movie was fairly accurate, if choppy and disjointed.
Not knowing much before I went in, the movie was quite the downer.
As the credits began to roll at the end of the movie, my companion and I just looked at each other and said, "Well."
