It's really great! I gave it 10 points. It was really nice to know Dalida. Filmin is completely music-filled and the selection of appropriate songs was good. Player selections and acting were also very nice. I love the fact that Dalida is singing things that I do not know about. REALLY LEGEND! They also look very same with Edith Piaf. I learned in the film that they are competitors. The lead role was very good. The story was fun and the camera was beautiful too. The characters were beautiful. The final scene was pretty good too. It's a really professional job. They were able to legend the legend in front of the camera. I wanted it to be longer.

Rare Movie Critic

This is not a "rare" film, but for a movie that has been out for over a year, it still has fewer than ten reviews on IMDb. This is the tenth review.I won't spoil the film, but this is not really worth watching as a standalone film. If you don't like Dalida's music, this film is not for you. Most of the film is music. Not "about music" but just music. Sveva Alviti standing in front of a microphone and singing. Sometimes on stage, sometimes in a studio, sometimes on TV, on the radio, and sometimes in montages where other things happen.If you enjoy her music and want to listen to whole songs, this movie is for you. If you don't want to listen to whole songs and want to see a movie, maybe skip this one. It's closer to "Pink Floyd The Wall" (the movie) than to a biopic.Casting, editing, sound, cinematography, etc. where all excellent, but this film is heavy on the music and light on the story.A very generous 6/10.

Beautifully written and portrayed journey through Dalida's success- filled career and through her rather melancholic personal life. Sveva shines as Dalida - she does her justice, and with all the right emotions at that. The picture offers a beautifully written and directed insight into the life of the legend that is Dalida. The transition between different phases of her life is light and allows you to dig deeper into what drove her success and ultimately her fall. While the film could've done better with Sveva's lip-syncing, the music is carefully selected, introduced, and fills the theater with Dalida's warm and unique voice. Probably will not be as commercially successful as the contextually similar La Vie en Rose with Marion Cottilard but insightful and beautiful nonetheless. Highly recommended.

I just saw the movie finally yesterday in Beirut, where it was packed full of young people, full of parents too, I was with my family and my friends ... Unanimous opinion of all, it is a very beautiful movie! I really liked how the first part of the film went, the idea is great to make flashbacks and start with 1967 which is the milestone in Dalida's life and which has tipped everything. I found the actress Sveva has her advantage in this period where she most resembles Dalida, when she is seen singing Dan Dan Dan, it is really the best passage on stage of the film, she sings in Italian, it is her language, the lip-sync works and the gesture is adapted, there for me it was magic ... The film has a strong cast and Sveva breaks and shines through the screen, it's true that for the rest of the on-stage songs, she does not look like the Dalida glamour of 1976 or the disco queen of 1980, but let's be honest, even a Madonna or Angelina Jolie could not restore or redo or copy what Dalida made us feel on stage, her charisma, her character was unique, we will not find it anywhere, then only for that I am glad that these other scenes have passed without disturbing me; Because Sveva is actually "Light", she plays the game and does not disturb the viewer, we want her to laugh and be happy, but given the drama that follows her throughout the film, we feel discomfort all the time and one comes out at the end of the movie with a heavy heart, so for those who say that the film lacks emotion, personally I find that it is well balanced ... The film is successful in being realistic, we feel that it is modern, that it is current and at the same time circa 60-70. The songs and scenes and the incidents of Dalida's life are combined in a clever and elaborate way, the songs emerge stronger by their words and explain a life marked by success and heartbreak. I loved how they added instrumental intros to the original songs, the mix is ​​beautiful, the voice of Dalida resonates with all of its beauty in the movie theater, it's just amazing! It is respectful of the artist and the woman, we feel throughout the movie how much she was a star and a modern woman ahead of her time, her story is universal, she was really all women ... It is a film that will remain for the generations a way to discover the journey of this extraordinary woman with multiple facets, the film demonstrates brilliantly why Dalida remains so popular and loved...
