CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Mobithailand This is not exactly the most joyful of films to watch of a Saturday evening. The story concerns the final months of life of an octogenarian couple living in an apartment in Paris, France. The woman suffers one stroke, then another and her husband struggles to take care of her. Their well-off daughter, while outwardly distressed at her mother's plight, reveals her own self-centred concerns when she confronts her father with the level of care he is providing to his wife of many years.Make no mistake about it – this movie has been beautifully written, directed, filmed and acted. There is no doubt that Amour is a masterpiece of the genre; there are moments that will shock you and others that will bring you close to tears. But there is no slushy sentiment here. The film deals matter of factly with the harsh realities of life, of human frailties, of immensely strong and also sadly shallow characters. You become immersed in the fortunes and struggles of this ageing, loving couple and everything they say and do is utterly believable.For those of you who enjoy a movie full of action, blood and guts, this French film noire is not for you, but for those who are tired of the formulaic nonsense that is churned out by the Hollywood moguls, you might want to try something different – something that is thought provoking and takes you out of yourself for an hour or so. But don't expect to be uplifted or walk out of the cinema whistling a happy tune. Jean-Louis Trintignant and Alexandre Tharaud are simply monumental in the lead roles.Read more about this reviewer at mobithailand.com

Oliver Saunders Michael Haneke is one of the greatest directors of our time and with this piece of art he proves it once again, Amour is a rare film that manages to be beautifully and articulately crafted and yet still be captivating and intriguing. The flawless performances accompanied by the outstanding directing make this film perfect and truly heartbreaking and beautiful. A Masterclass at the art that he has perfected Michael Haneke, it's truly sad that this great director may not have time to make many more movies. I won't spoil or say to much about the movie it's self because I think it's just best to go into it not knowing to much, just know that it is a beautifully crafted drama that everyone should watch, COMPLETELY UNMISSABLE.

lindaikejia The fact that Amour is an instant classic in the art-house world is as indisputable as the emotions presented by the protagonists of the film are bewildering. This picture is Haneke's minimalistic yet mightily expressive homage to love as we know it, showing the feeling's overpowering force and heartfelt, altruistic nature. While remaining a thoroughly unsentimental and provocative picture, Amour delivers a most-demanding portrayal of an elderly couple's last days together. Those cultivated, sophisticated characters need to evaluate their long-lasting marriage and come to terms with their own emotions, and, simultaneously, discover the true meaning of love in itself. Decisions need to be made, and some of them might be shocking to say the least. one of the best of the cinema the french title , and the drama in this movie is so romantic and Lovely , i have wrote before on this in my blog so i took some of the sayings and wrote them in french here http://sms1amour.blogspot.com message d'amour hope this will give another idea about quotes and sms there .

Chinmayee Mishra Love, as easy it is between two young blossoming soul, is as difficult between two frail souls at the end of their life. The movie leaves the audience, often blissfully ignorant or negligent, with a poignant helplessness. The story goes beyond judgment in its slow heavy paces which can easily clutch hold of your sleeping emotions and not let go.It is a masterpiece of direction and acting, set in modern France. The smooth, yet lonely, life of two retired old French musicians becomes lonelier when one of them succumbs to paralysis. Each day brings with it further decay and challenges until it is a war between love and loss. The movie is recommended for those of us, too blind to acknowledge life in all its forms.It is, unlike most movies of our time, lacking in unnecessary background music. The pace of the movie is slow which only magnifies the emotions.
