Movie #159 "Coco Beore Chanel" has Audrey Tatou and I love, love, love Audrey (Amelie) Tatou, but she didn't save this film for me. It was slow with very little story until the last half an hour. Very litle conflict and slow pacing makes a dull film. It's cool that she brought a very simplistic, masculine style to women's fashion, and that she was a feminist with a capital F. The love story is very anomalous and could have used a bit more explaining. But just a bit too slow for my money. Makes me want to see what comes After Chanel,now.
Average rating: 3.548
