There aren't many movies that will be so compelling to me that I don't think about the time going by or go to the bathroom or find myself distracted by other things. From the opening scene through to the end credits, Colette was that rare filmgoing experience where I felt every shot, every frame, every moment was essential and compelling. The performances are amazing and this story is absolutely riveting. I can't wait to see it again.
What a beautiful, heartfelt film. From the stunning cinematography to the wonderful acting and amazing direction, this film is a must for all those who are sick and tired of the same old storylines being rehashed, or comic book heroes being brought to life. I was lucky enough to see it at a private screening, and I walked out crying! Highly recommended.
Great acting, directing, script. Highly recommend!
