Review by Library Journal Review

Indelibly nicknamed "The Little Sparrow" by the bar owner (Gerard Depardieu) who discovers her, iconic French chanteuse Edith Piaf is astonishingly re--created by relative unknown Marion Cotillard in a career-making performance. Olivier Dahan's soaring biopic deftly shifts back and forth from Piaf's beggared childhood singing in the streets of Paris to playing cabarets to, finally, taking the international stage--even as her personal life crumbles.
