Several years after leaving the orphanage, to which her father never returned for her, Gabrielle Chanel finds herself working in a provincial bar. She's both a seamstress for the performers and a singer, earning the nickname Coco from the song she sings nightly with her sister. A liaison with Baron Balsan gives her an entree into French society and a chance to develop her gift for designing.

The story of Coco before she was famous. Her emotions, her relationships, her ambitions narrated in a good way. Good job

A good biography material, because I saw the weaknesses of Coco - in all magazines she has been always showed as a independent with no fears

There are some flaws in the telling, but it kept my interest. Tatou is quite good and I enjoyed the peek at how the French rich lived.

Unlike the movie shows, Chanel’s life was more than a love story. Her genius isn’t given enough screen time in this movie.
