Coco Before Chanel
CriticsCritics: 64
AudienceAudience: 6.5
After leaving an orphanage, a young seamstress and singer earns the nickname Coco while working in a provincial bar. A relationship with a wealthy society figure opens doors to French society, helping her develop her talent for designing.
My takeYou’ll likely enjoy this stylish, romance-leaning biopic about the rise of a fashion icon, especially if you like period dramas like Marie Antoinette or Pride and Prejudice; Not for you if you want a deeper focus on her career rather than the love story.
