Tautou brings Amelie to life with a delightful mix of shyness, energy, and mischievousness. It doesn't take long for Tautou to win our sympathy, and, once gained, it's something she never loses. It isn't difficult to understand why this movie has been such a success with audiences around the world - it's the kind of motion picture that's both intelligent and immensely likable - just like the main character. 

Amelie is a fabulous and rewarding movie experience. It's ironic that people are expanding their experiences and worlds by going out and seeing a movie based on that same premise, and shows us all that there is a different and equally relevant world of movies outside of America. 9/10

This is truly a touching, honest, emotional roller coaster ride, equipped with powerful but subtle scenes of unrequited love, comfortable loneliness, visual wonder, imaginary worlds, and phantom characters guarding the hearts and souls of their mental caretakers. Amelie delivers the goods on all levels, with crafty storytelling, superb acting, and clever directing. 

--Max Messier (FilmCritic.com)

With so many colourful eccentrics and unlikely subplots, it's perhaps inevitable that "Amélie" is episodic and fractured. But this is a small price to pay for a film guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a chanson in your coeur. 

--Neil Smith (BBC Films)

A beautiful film – tonic for the romantically challenged and a breath of fresh air for all but the most long-gone of cinematic cynics. 86/100

--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)

I especially loved the way that the script detailed and showed the loves/hates of everyone with exact mentions in the film. It was very original, very well shot and very nostalgic, as many of us were able to relate to the behaviors described. Good stuff! 7/10

It’s a shame that the British distributors didn’t see fit to retain the original, far superior rhyming couplet title of Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain – perhaps they thought so many French words together would frighten off British audiences.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon) "Amelie" is a slick, sweet, fast-paced, feel-good romantic fantasy that's fairly irresistible if you can keep your cynicism in check for a couple of hours  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post) "Amélie" is filled with whimsical charm the way that a chocolate soufflé is filled with air. A- --Nell Minow (Yahoo!
