Search: Starring Audrey Tautou

Jeunet has such an imaginative approach to film that he creates an atmosphere of magic.

The intelligence of the writing and the intensity of Ryan Gosling's performance takes it out of the shock horror budget bin.

There is some verve in the early singing scenes, but overall I was left with the impression that breaking all those conventions was a long, hard slog.

Ron Howard directs without flair, but with respect for the source material.

A stagey, fast-food version of romance.

Ejiofor's performance is perfectly judged.

Tautou is embalmed in her cutesy, kooky, whimsical persona, which makes the unseen acts of violence unbelievable.

The overkill threatens to bludgeon the much-loved book into an over-wrought exercise in style.

The tension between Philippe and his dad ultimately drives the film in ways that lead Salle to cut corners with other characters and leave it caught in the doldrums when Niney is absent.

Their adventures and scrapes and close encounters of the emotional kind are wittily chronicled in Xavier's short history of his life so far.

Captivating, cleverly written and beautifully played by the two leads.

Miller's stance may remain resolutely ambiguous but it's intriguing nonetheless.

Being French, the film has a certain charm, although its premise is flimsy.

A miniature masterpiece.
