Watch Beautiful Lies For Free

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

best movie i've ever seen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Either I'm getting smarter or movies are getting dumber. I love Audrey Tatou and was really looking forward to watching another of her movies but this one was just not really...there. I couldn't even finish watching it.I thought it was original and interesting to have Jean be a burnout doing handy work but the res to the movie, well, I just couldn't really believe it. Emilie's mother follows Jean, rather closely, all the way from her house to the salon and the guy doesn't turn around even once. Her hair is disheveled, she's in a nighty and she's wearing no shoes, and yet nobody stares, not even a single glance. That simply does not happen in France. A few minutes after she walks out of the salon she goes back in and all the customers who were in the middle of getting their hair cut are suddenly gone. This sort of thing happened too often so I just lost interest.

When hairdresser Audrey Tautou receives a lyrical, unsigned love letter, she first throws it in the bin, then fishes it out and sends it to her mum, who's in a four-year rut. Mumsy (Nathalie Baye) guesses who wrote it – over-educated handyman Jean (Sami Bouajila) – but not who it was intended for. After unwittingly waiting years for a love triangle featuring a mum and a daughter, I've seen two in two weeks (the other was It's a Date), but this one's no frothy confection; certainly not the Amelie-ish romcom promised by a disingenuous marketing campaign. It starts off cheerily, with an amusing opening 20, but gets lost, becoming a fraught, gloomy romantic drama desperately in need of a lighter touch. As an outwardly harsh businesswoman plagued by loneliness, fear and insecurity, Tautou is excellent, and Bouajila does a good job of articulating his character's predicament, but the film gives the distinct impression of having got out of hand somewhere along the line, with plot developments that simply don't work. Jean is buffeted around by lies in a way that's more bleak than funny. Beautiful Lies is neither enjoyable enough to work as entertainment, nor resonant or believable enough to have value as anything else. The French title actually translates as True Lies – I wonder why they changed that.

Not very often a film deserves 10 out of 10. The story is based on a misunderstanding that escalates out of control. Very clever movie absolutely fantastic script direction and acting, a total joy to watch.At the start a love letter is read out that is incredible and really is truly romantic.But guys be prepared to feel inadequate when it comes to your romantic side, my wife on hearing the love letter went completely wobbly (so did I but don't tell anyone), but don't worry I think I stunned her later with my own.'Roses are red violets are blue I love a girl and choogey choogey koo'Make sure you watch this movie you will love it.

Is it a coincidence that Ms. Tautou is named Émilie (sounds like Amélie)? Is it a coincidence that she has the same gamin-tomboy look with her cropped hair as Amelie? Somehow I think it is intentional.Alas, where the similarities to Amélie are evident they are the only thing they have in common. Unfortunately one similarity that is glaringly missing is the sheer energy of Ms. Tautou's' former director and mentor, Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whereas Jeunet is like a brightly illuminated comet hurtling through the sky, Pierre Salvadori's style is more akin to a slow moving iceberg. And that is what the film is - an iceberg.Nearly all good romantic comedies have some essential ingredients: energy, dynamism, warmth, identifiable characters, quick-fire humour and empathy - think Bridget Jones, Notting Hill et al,. Sadly none of these ingredients are present. Not even the exceptional Nathalie Baye is able to drag this film from the doldrums. It is nothing more than a montage of scenes where very little happens or engages the viewer. Clearly Sami Bouajila did his best but his forte is serious drama and that's where he should stay.The one shining light in the film is Judith Chemla. With her very expressive face and mannerisms she has a promising future.It is quite sad that Ms. Tautou has concentrated on 'glamour' films since leaving Jeunet - "Coco Before Channel", "Priceless". At heart she is an exceptional comedy actor. Regretfully Salvadori is not the director who can direct and showcase her talents. Unless she wants to stay on the periphery of French cinema Ms. Tautou needs to ask herself how best can she deploy her many talents.
