Sad and melancholic but resonates so much with our life. I could identify with every section of the movie as my own parents are in their 80s and going through similar challenges. And I, watching them, boldly prepare myself to face for what…

I saw it on the plane over the Atlantic. There was a lot of turbulence and I was shaken by the catharsis at the end. It's probably too sad/slow for Americans

I thought this was a moving portrait of an elderly couple- it's serious stuff crafted by one of the great European directors currently working in film.

It might have been a good story but the English sub-titles were inadequate. Gave up on the film 1/4 way into it.

Who to blame for the antiseptic system for the elders IN THE CURRENT SOCIETY of the USA and Europe?
Trintignant still strong, ni se qua then ni se qua now! He and Emmanuelle acting under the direction of Haneke a triumph .
Amour is…

I found it fascinating that the director keeps sequences that would normally be edited out. This is a good film, with a typical French (hanging) ending.
With the possible exception of "Cries and Whispers" and its long, drawn-out, realistic scenes of someone dying slowly of cancer, this is the most horrific and painfully moving film I have ever seen. Like Bergman's film it is certainly not…

An incredibly compassionate, loving film that shows kindness in a way that many who have not shared a similar experience would never, ever understand.
