Review – Amelie

Normally I don’t care for movies as self-consciously quirky as this one, but for some reason this time around it sort of worked. The non-story swirls around a distracted young French woman whom fate inspires to perform secret good deeds for people. Thanks at least in part to some good camerawork, editing and effects, this doesn’t turn out to be anywhere near as tedious as a one-paragraph review no doubt makes it sound. Mildly amusing
