All the joy and excitement of being forced to watch your beloved grandmother die of a seizure in slow motion adapted for the big screen by mr. Haneke. I would rather listen to the sound of a sack of infants being beaten to death with spiked clubs that having to hear Emmanuelle Riva cry out "mal" one more time. Oh god, I hope she doesn't do that during her acceptance speech.

Like being felt up by a very drunk Angelina Jolie. You think it's gonna be sweet and nice, but in reality its horrible. Once you realize it's going to happen whether you want it to or not and accept your fate, you might start to enjoy it. Might. Great experience that I will talk about from time to time, but will never do again.

I want to like this film more than I do. Superb acting, beautiful long-takes, and a stark look at old age. Truly terrifying. Huppert lifts this film as well. The first 45 minutes are phenomenal, yet Haneke manages to fall into territory that has been explored. By the time Riva falls to her death bed, we are left with a film that is only marginally more successful than an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Yes, we understand it is difficult to care for a degenerating spouse. There's nothing fresh there.

As expected from Haneke, this is an amazing movie that will depress the shit out of you. The script and the acting were brilliant and the filming fit the story superbly. It is near perfect. But next time Michael, how about a comedy?

Very tender film for Haneke, beautiful but also a common geriatric nightmare unfolding. I'll never want to watch this again. I've witnessed this decay from up close, like so many. Put your affairs in order at the notary office and make sure you'll never have to go through this. Unfortunately the people that need to see this film won't see this film

Not one of Hanneke's most memorable films, a patience-testing, ploddingly narrated story whose pacing is matched only by the speed of its characters' movements. Trintignant stands for me as the film's saving grace, his counterpart's unconvincing performance unable to complement Hanneke's cinematic sleight of hand. Another miss from the Cannes jury.

I knew this would be a hard, depressing watch. And so it was. Whatever one thinks of it, though, one has to give credit to the performances. I also appreciated some of the allegorical scenes. I feel that, in tackling this subject, one bound to trigger defense mechanisms, he found a reasonable balance of what to show and for how long. That being said, it's highly unlikely that I shall ever watch it again.

Classic Haneke in every sense. Slow, minimalistic, off screen action - everything we've come to expect from the austrian. The actors are nothing less than fantastic. But, I actually found that something was missing. I found the missing part in a review in Cahier du Cinema that hated every minute of it - that review made me like the film even better.

I'm a twenty-two year old guy who has never experienced true love so I can't really imagine I'm the target audience for this movie. My main issue is that it seems to present the most basic version of its story possible, and being Haneke that moves forward as glacially as possible. Where I imagine the point was meant to be to depict the slow march into what everyone knows is coming, there were very few scenes that made me emotional. I liked the pigeon.

Haneke uses such few cuts, and they are so thinly spread that I found my mind wandering away from the film time and time again, as I thought about my own grandparents and all kinds of tangents that brought me on to. I was frustrated to find that I had such a hard time focusing on the plot of the film. However, it may just be one of the strengths of Haneke's films that he doesn't really do much to feed us the literal plot, but rather, we're inspired to reflect on our own lives through the film.

Cold, mechanical, lifeless. Sometimes the performances bring some necessary recognizably human aspects, but the film is all still rooms and dull silence masquerading as meaning. Yes, watching a loved one deteriorate is heartbreaking, yes it's a daring idea to make a film of it, no this is not a good movie. I suspect most of the acclaim is due to people recognizing their fears rather than any merits in the film itself.

A heart-wrenching look at an elderly couple dealing with the trials of old age. As typical with Michael Haneke films, it has a mechanical feel due to slow pacing and an emphasis on quiet long-takes, but it is directed with the sure hand of a master filmmaker. The performances by Emmanuelle Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant are stunning achievements of acting. Amour is one of the toughest films I have ever sat through, but it is a triumph of film-making that deserves all accolades it has received.

It's bleak and depressing, but very good with some great performances. Obviously, it's not a happy go lucky movie. But it's also brutally honest. The main problem I had was the ending, which I really found pulled me out of the movie as it was out of character and felt tacked on, like they were showing a tragic slice of life, but didn't know how to make the bookends. Good, but not sure I'd call it great, nor is it an easy movie to watch.

If this is Haneke's masterpiece, his most humane and sensitive film, then I must be absolutely out of my mind. I found it just shy and dry, as if he's forgotten his solid career of pale and crude tales about couples in crisis and maddening video fantasies. He refuses to be himself for 90 min, shoots a phony nightmare scene along the way, and ends it trying to reverse what he's done wrong with his usual violent climax and two old souls in love. Amour is the epitome of pleasing art-house crowds.

If you haven't beaten your wife, you don't love her. Amour tries really hard to be a serious movie, but mistakes extremely slow pace for insightfulness. The characters are soulless, the writing cliched and manipulative. The scenes crammed full of random, inconsequential stuff emphasize just how out of his depth Michael Haneke was with this one.

Maybe my expectations were too high but I felt that this could have been much better. I liked the raw nature of it and the acting was on par with the plot. Aesthetically impressive with its simplicity in depicting a particularly harsh reality, convincingly. I felt unusually empty at the and which can be seen as praise but it didn't leave me thinking about it as much as I would have thought.

Well, you're definitely not going to have any fun watching it, but that doesn't mean it's not good.

I "enjoyed" it, so to speak. The pacing felt in a very similar vein to Elena, which almost feels like an unintended companion. I could probably watch the two back to back and drift off into an unsteady slumber about life and its troubles. I like someone who lets a moment play out, a camera angle is held, it's held so long that you think "this has been a long time with the one shot" and then it's held some more, so much so that you can relax and sink naturally into the pacing. A haunting movie.

A masterful achievement by Haneke. Despite depicting a harrowing experience and carrying traces of Haneke's typical misanthropic and abrasive style, it's a film full of love and humanity and one where even in its darkest moments carries with it some hints of hope and joy. That it does all this in a way that feels eminently sincere and realistic makes it all the more affecting.

The film is trying to be an honest, painful and realistic portrayal of sickness and losing your loved one. It succeeds in that partly. Some scenes are powerful and acting is phenomenal (mostly Emmanuelle Riva). Still, it bothered me how little emotion the characters showed during the film. This made me unable to relate to them and actually feel much. But, in the end the film did make me think about life, death and my loved ones, which is never a bad thing.

It's almost perverse to watch such a naked portrayal of couple relationships, parenthood, and the supremely depicted personifications of the vows of for better or worse, in sickness and in health, and till death do us part, but paradoxically it's also as normal as life is when considered honestly and inwardly.

Pretty much an unblemished film. Strays from the doting amour angle taken through the first hour, probably as George buckles facing the kind of resistance he does. Falls into an aged-care holding pattern during a portion of the 2nd half . Builds itself around rarely raised questions & some swept under the rug themes. Employs light visual metaphors. Poetic, synergy between the dialogue & actions. As well as a restrained finale that paints its picture without the use of heavy brush stokes.

An uncompromising, bleak, realist take on a situation any of us could one day find ourselves in. Neither sugar-coating death nor making it overzealously harrowing, Haneke shows an unflinchingly cold hand. The performances were obviously fantastic but given how little enjoyment or emotional response I got out of watching, I feel like I'm awarding the points just for it being so darn worthy. Apparently the Academy felt the same way.

This is a film that looks at the fragility of life and uncomfortable truths about death, its inevitibility and how both the dying and their loved ones cope with this banal and unavoidable evil that will come to us all sooner or later. Riva has the showier part and is an absolute wonder, but Trintignant is the focus for much of the film and he gives a really nuanced and powerful portrayal of a man struggling to deal with the cruellest blows life has to offer. Haneke's direction is impeccable.

Haneke is the most uncompromising director I know. There are probably others, but then I don't know them. This film paints the most perfect portrait of love - not in a lame sense, but in the sense where love decides the ways we live, and how we act according to who and what we appreciate. The characters of 'Amour' do not once say "I love you", because that's just the most platonic version of love - hence the polar opposite to the concept of this film.

Instead, Amour defines the limits of love's agony and then recommends death over distress. Murder over misery. Some call that the way of all things. The only sane conclusion. But, much like this film, it's a bleak and empty choice. What could have been a rich look at true love in a time of loss turns into an empty existential scream. (pluggedin.com)

It's hard to rate a movie like this. On one hand you have great performances and an emotional story that really got to me. So Haneke obviously did a good job making this film. On the other hand, he has chosen a very uneasy and difficult topic, that mostly will make you feel down. Despite that the title of film tries to help me help focus on the positive, then to be honest, a young(er) guy like me prefers not to be reminded of this aspect of life.

While I do not quite consider this to be immune from the problems that afflicted some of this director's previous work, there are a number of great scenes, and the overall result is emotionally complex. Trintignant and Riva are great. The combination of deciding to use a particular piano piece by Schubert, and (almost) ending with a significant bird scene, raised metaphorical eyebrows for this viewer. Re-watched August 2022: still seems for this viewer to be Haneke's best movie.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. This movie is really not that good. Yes, it does show that the guy loves his wife, a lot. You do have to give him credit for all he does. The worst part about this film is that it is dry. You spend a lot of time watching people read in bed and cook dinner. I could head out to a retirement home and find more enjoyment than this movie provides. The ending is a mystery to me and might be my favorite part, but it still didn't save me from absolute boredom.

Telling a story like this without falling into melodrama is an achievement on its own. The first part didn't manage to live up to a much more refined second half, with Riva's one-sided performance and pacing apt for a short film, filled with characters moving from one room to the next. In the end, this is still a fine film, thanks to Trintignant's remarkable performance, suggesting a great deal of emotional depth, deserving the audience's respect.

This isn't the obvious woolen that many of Haneke's other movies are -- there's only one obvious and cynical fake-out in a piano-playing scene -- but the film makes pretty clear that its end is meant to ease the suffering of the surviving man and not the dying woman. Feeling enlightened by such a scenario would make us either idiots or sociopaths. I'm sure the director of two Funny Games would be happy with either result.

Michael Haneke's AMOUR is the most sophisticated and tragically beautiful film of the year. Insightful and piercing, its opening sequence shot alone pushed me on the verge of tears. Everyone should see it because not only is Michael Haneke one of the best filmmakers of all time, but because his relentless approach to the subject matter is so painfully real.

I loved how Haneke cut together these brutally slow still shots with an unforgiving progression further down Anne's decay. It was a brilliant portrayal of inevitability and human futility. Clinical explorations of pointless encounters with the daughter and ex-student were easy to disengage from. However, the more I ponder this film the more I like it.

True to life and all the harder to watch for it. Contrary to the title, the film doesn't exactly depict love -- there are only mere moments of tenderness, openness, and compassion, but, in the context of two hours of mechanical pain and grief, these simple scenes are cathartic and beautiful. It's slow and simple and very Haneke, and Riva gives an infinitely brave performance. It is difficult, though--I'm not sure I'm equipped with the emotional capacity to truly understand the film on any level.

The tenderness in this relationship was surprising to me, particularly as it was communicated often through the experience of watching this husband physically care for his wife. There's something about the closeness of the bodies, the tender and almost entirely patient way in which he deals with her, that offers a keen portrait of married love. The ending gets a great deal of play in people's responses, which I understand, but it was the first 90+ minutes that really made the film for me.

He was amour and she the drama queen. The lost of control of her life was pretty difficult to swallow. But with love they managed. Even with the altered pressure from the outer world. Strong performances though a sad story.

Whilst it is undeniably masterfully crafted, the pacing and lack of emotional punch seriously hindered my "enjoyment". Perhaps I'm too young, too inexperienced in love to fully connect with the characters. Maybe when I watch this again in 40 years it will have me in floods of tears. For now, though, I'll remain cynical and unmoved.

The beginning had me thinking that Haneke is messing with the audience again through mockery of the characters but this turns out to be one of his warmest movies. The camera never flinches away from uncomfortable situations but his intentions seem honest.

filmekimi 2012 & Amour'da Haneke'nin konuya yaklasimi ve kamerasi cok iyi. Basarili bir is lakin ne Haneke'nin ne de yilin en iyi filmi. Amour, sentimentale kayabilecek riskli bir konuyu soguklukla, buyuk mesafe ile anlatmis. Bu acidan takdir edilesi. / 12 Ocak '13, bade ile beyoglu sinemasi- sarabimizi alip filme girdik. Filmin ne teknik ne de narration anlaminda en ufak bir noksanligi yok. Lakin 'hissedemiyorum'. Bunun sebebi az yasamisligim, on dokuz yasinda bir genc olusum mu?

This film drags; its climax became inevitably clear quite early on, meaning the remaining hour or so was a bit of a grind as I waited for confirmation and then resolution. That said, the acting and cinematography were superb, and most importantly, the film resonated on both a personal and a political level. It is as a political statement that Amour becomes a truly important work of art: we must all have the right to die.

Detachment for dramatic effect can work, but Haneke pulls so far back that there are barely any characters left. It's basically giving you a blank canvas and demanding you create your own emotional narrative. Didn't feel as excruciatingly long as the last few Haneke films though.

This is so good and so well done and so well acted. The actual quality is higher than the rating I'm giving it, but oh my goodness is it depressing and I just couldn't fully appreciate it, at least at the time I watched it. It's really slow, so it's not perfect, but it's just wonderfully made. I feel a little bad not giving it a better rating, because I can't imagine a much better movie being made about this subject matter. But wow.

Äta, sova, dö... Eller: Vadå hur skall det bli? Det kommer att fortsätta så här och bli ännu sämre och till slut kommer döden (ungefärligt citat). Filmen är ingen humörhejare direkt. Istället är det en plågsamt utdragen historia om smärta och livsleda. Socialrealism är bara förnamnet. Filmen har inget tydligt budskap, men den berör, i alla fall bitvis. Det är inte helt lätt att sätta betyg, men jag hamnar till slut på en svag fyra.

Yeah, of course Haneke would start winning Palm d'Ors when he started making "prestigious", ponderous borefests like this and The White Ribbon. It's not that i want him to keep making "shocking", "extreme" cinema or anything, it's just that when you take those things away his humorless austerity just becomes tedious and dreary. This reminded me of watching "grownup" movies with my parents that made me fall asleep when i was a kid. Now i'm an adult and i did almost the same thing.

Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva are so effective (and so understated) as the long-married couple at the heart of AMOUR that they overcome its shortcomings as a film and make it worthwhile. Not that Michael Haneke's direction doesn't have some good touches, or that his screenplay doesn't provide a workable framework for the performances, but it says little that hasn't already been said about the subject (the physical and mental decay of the elderly), and the pacing tends to drag.

"Amour" is a masterful exploration of love and aging, with unflinching storytelling and grounded performances that create a chillingly real and emotionally resonant portrait of the cruelty of aging and the frequent lack of dignity accompanying our last moments on Earth. While its unrelenting focus may be too much for some, those willing to endure its slow pace and unflinching approach will find a powerful and unforgettable cinematic experience.

In short, it was very good. It was quite simple and slow-moving, and I'm sure a lot of people might find it boring. However, I found it to be an entrancing and beautifully tragic film. It felt very real. Most likely because the two lead actors were incredible. I definitely recommend it.

It wouldn't work without this pair of actors, that's for sure. I definitely prefer Trintignant, who gives some nice understated work that's much more my style. I didn't enjoy it so much as I endured it, but I think that sometimes, that's the kind of movie we all need to see.
