Coco before Channel (****)

Coco before Chanel film poster

It seems I always give films 4 stars, I guess it is because I try to pick good films to watch and this one is no different.

It is played by the actor from Amelie and is about the early years of Coco Channel. It starts with her being abandoned at  an orphange with her sister. Then moves on as the two of them work in a bar and attempt to work there way into society by dating the gentlemen who frequent the bar. Coco gets befriended by a rich aristocrat who at first tries to keep her a secret but eventually turns out to have a big heart and just want to look after her. An English wide boy who is trying to marry into money steals her heart and then gets a bit messy, but eventually Coco end up making clothes for the rich and end up fulfilling her ambitions.
