I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Much better than what I was expecting...I knew Michael Haneke was a good director. He's proved it before with 'The Piano Teacher', 'The White Ribbon' and 'Funny Games' (both versions), but his masterful work in 'Amour' puts him at the top of the list of the all-time best directors. The way he carried out this love story at its very end, with the unexpected visit of illness, testing the couple's love for each other is admirable. In the most natural, simple way, he's made one of the best pictures in history. I think this might be my new favorite movie.The screenplay is magnificent. the soundtrack suits the movie perfectly, the set decoration is simple but beautiful, and the acting is mind-blowing. Emmanuelle Riva deserved the Oscar, and Jean-Louis Trintignant deserved a nomination. Huppert is perfect, as always. A very well deserved Palm D'Or winner. One of the most beautiful, realistic and natural films ever, that will make you see life and death in a different way.Everyone should watch this movie.10/10

Michael Haneke is one of the greatest directors of our time and with this piece of art he proves it once again, Amour is a rare film that manages to be beautifully and articulately crafted and yet still be captivating and intriguing. The flawless performances accompanied by the outstanding directing make this film perfect and truly heartbreaking and beautiful. A Masterclass at the art that he has perfected Michael Haneke, it's truly sad that this great director may not have time to make many more movies. I won't spoil or say to much about the movie it's self because I think it's just best to go into it not knowing to much, just know that it is a beautifully crafted drama that everyone should watch, COMPLETELY UNMISSABLE.

This is the third movie of Austrian Director Michael Haneke I watched. AMOUR (Love). It won the best foreign film Oscar. Michael 's direction is many times compared to Alfred Hitchcock. His movie Funny Games is the best example of building mysterious tension. The other movie I had seen was Piano Teacher – which was also exceptional in understanding unexplored sexual fantasies of a woman. Amour on other end tells the story of an old couple's Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) and George (Jean-Louis Trintignant)'s life. Starts with police breaking in their apartment and finding Anne's dead body. The movie goes ahead with a flashback when Anne and George come back from a concert. With time, Anne slowly loses her abilities and is struck with a paralytic attach on right side and after getting treatment in a hospital is confined to bed and wheelchair. The movie is about the struggle of old couple in a big Paris Apartment, where 3 times in a week a nurse comes to help Anne, otherwise George is the one who has to take care of bed-ridden Anne. It is a mirror to the audiences on loneliness, old-age, helplessness, slow process of decay and death in human body. Brilliantly executed. Though slow and not a flavor for everyone, especially those who are not sensitive towards the fact – that one day, they too will become old and face old age. Both Emmanuelle and Jean-Louis have acted brilliantly and taken the whole film on their shoulders. Direction is top class. There are moments that make you cry. After Anne gets paralytic attack I saw the rest of the movie with praying hands. There is brilliant musical score especially on piano. It has won 80 international awards and additional 83 nominations showcases its appreciation and acceptability in the type of movie it is. Essential for movie buffs who like good movies.LOVED it!(7.25 out of 10)

"Love" is the most beautiful and pure feeling that a human being can feel for each other, but it's also one of the most painful, especially when it's an elderly couple, and "Amour" express that in a amazing and depressive way. We see the normal everyday of an elderly couple, Georges (played by Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (played by the stunning Emmanuelle Riva), both of them are retired music teachers. One day, Anne has a stroke, and then the suffering starts for both, and us, the public. The performances are amazing, especially by Emmanuelle Riva(who acted in the poetic masterpiece "Hiroshima, Mon Amour"), she really looks like that she is sick, and Jean-Louis Trintignant also does a great job, both of the actors are almost perfect . Michael Haneke direct the movie in a amazing way, with no music (most of the time), very realistic (typical of his films) and quite cold. The little soundtrack that is in this movies is excellent, classic, and set the tone of sadness really well. The cinematography is excellent, with almost no "happy color". "Amour" has a important and very sad message that everyone do not want to face and think about: death, and how some people react when someone very close to them is in a bad condition of health."Amour" is a true love story, and one of the most depressive movies of all time, and also the best love story of the century so far, it's already a classic and Haneke best film to date.
