Albus P Mar 6, 2019 Very slow movie, but very well acted and realistic. Definitely a must see if you're into dramas.

Theodore S Jan 11, 2019 'Amour' is a heart-wrenching portrayal of deep love. The title is also French for love, as we grapple with life and death questions on-screen. Terrifically acted and extraordinarily touching; 'Amour' defines was real unconditional love truly is. I understand why this film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language. See more

Poe S Aug 21, 2018 1.5/5. Amour has some solid acting, interesting cinematography and an interesting scene or two, but the vast majority of this movie is incredibly boring and utterly miserable. It's a brutal 2 hurt and 7 minutes long. Let me have a crack at editing it and it would be 85. The scenes go on for far too long and this movie simply isn't interesting enough. How it got nominated for Best Picture is baffling to me. See more

George S Aug 10, 2018 chillingly beautiful to the core.. Amour 4 And A Half Out Of 5 Amour is a character driven feature about an old couple that goes through their last phase of the unbroken love when a tragic incident leaves them by shook. The construction of the world depicted in here is so mesmerizing that despite of being restrained within four walls; literally, it is thoroughly busy and competent. Despite of having such bold moves on the chess board, none of them seems to have broken any sort of rule; the audience is never left cheated which often happens whilst leaping few turns. The chemistry is without any doubt, some of the best that the cinema had to offer to the audience and not due to its soothing tone and sweetness involved in it but its three dimensional perspective towards each little things. The writing is genuinely moving, emotionally manipulative and adaptive which leaves the audience in an awe of it; the metaphorical pigeon will haunt you even after the curtain drops. It is rich on technical aspects like the d.o.p., camera work and detailed production design. Smarter sound designing, alluring background score and the ingenious structure of the script are the high points of the feature. Haneke; the screenwriter-director, is in his A game where his script does meet its brilliant execution skills which is rare and exquisite. But in the end, it's all about the act, it's all performance, and boy what an act they have staged. Riva and Trintignant are; similar to their characters, dependent on each other flaunting their behemoth talent on screen that can make viewers' eyes pop out. Amour is chillingly beautiful to the core and not for its knack of drawing out the emotions from the audience but for its loudness that it demands to be seek upon. See more

Poe W Feb 28, 2018 Exceptional performances and a story that is all too familiar for many people. Makes it impossible for the viewer not to be moved.

Hagrid P Jan 12, 2018 This French film is huge, its level of intimacy and rawness is rarely seen in cinema nowdays.
