Critics Consensus: Though it doesn't quite capture the complexity of its subject's life, Coco Avant Chanel remains a fascinating, appropriately lovely tribute.

Anne Fontaine's lavish biopic goes back to Chanel's early years to show how, before she invented the century - by revolutionising fashion - she first invented herself.

Charleston City Paper

Felicia Feaster

In the end, Coco Before Chanel's woman-before-the-mogul biography is more respectable than rousing, an enlightening but hardly ground-moving tribute to a fashion modernist.

Like Coco's designs, Coco Before Chanel won't appeal to everyone, but for those who fall under it's charms it will prove to be a near-perfect fit.

A trifle long perhaps, but certainly a delight.

Gabrielle Chanel (Audrey Tautou) has a sort of ruthless ambition - but in Anne Fontaine's dashing film, it's directed more toward the physical than the creative spirit.
