	The Chocolat Fanlisting - the movie by Lasse Hallström (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Chocolat is a charming, delicious and touching film by the acclaimed director Lasse Hallström.
		The Chocolat Fanlisting was adopted by me (Essi) from Brittany in April 2006.
		Vianne's intuitive flair for guessing her customers favorite candy and the powers of the chocolat liberate a few of the citizens to her side but the mayor's strong hold on the town prevails...

	Chocolat - Movie Review
		A fanciful fairy tale for grown-ups, "Chocolat" takes place in a sleepy French village, circa 1959, and stars Juliette Binoche as a nomadic confectioner of sublime candy delicacies whose arrival -- just as Lent has begun -- stirs curiosity, gossip and scornful disdain among the locals.
		Halstrom infuses "Chocolat" with an esoterically poetic quality, but there's a smugness in the way he directs the story, as if he's looking down on the townspeople as a mostly fatuous lot that needs a free spirit like Binoche to loosen their shackles of tradition.
		And his character is indicative of the movie's larger problem: It's full of capricious clichés that are overcome only by the film's more splendid performances.

	Chocolat: A Ransom Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The scenes in which Vianne stirs her chocolates on the stove are filmed with a delicious sensuality, and the feast given in Armande’s honor near the end of the film is warmly human and deeply inviting.
		Or as Roger Ebert put it in his review: “Chocolat is about a war between the forces of paganism and Christianity, and because the pagan heroine has chocolate on her side, she wins.” By the end of the film, however, tolerance is achieved.
		Chocolat is also a challenge to those of us who are committed to the gospel of Christ, that our faith would be winsome and joyfully welcoming, without compromise and full of grace.

	Chocolat
		Chocolat except a few of its stars, the type of movie I thought it was and what I wanted to get out of it.
		The movie is idealistic in many ways, a fairy tale as I said, but so pleasantly and innocently that you cannot help but forgive its almost childlike idealism and positivity.
		The movie is a celebration of life, humanity and passion, and while many other movies have been made on this theme, this one seems to capture them in a very unique and wonderful way.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Chocolat"
		In the end, the movie was simple enough for me to enjoy for the most part, thanks to all of the interesting actors in the film and the cute premise, but it truly does outlast its stay and doesn't really have all that much to say when you think about it afterwards.
		But then the movie is really great and interesting coz it reflects values and in a way helps people to open their eyes to reality.
		This movie may soothe the senses of non-church going liberals that like to believe their self-indulgence and "tolerance" is most noble, but it is as wrong as the candy-coated message would be to anyone searching for real truth.

	Chocolat: Movie Review
		Chocolat serves up the warm fuzzies: a skillful blend of wholesome sensuality, fairytale magic, and easy pathos.
		In fact, Chocolat is easier to consume than a box of chocolates, which at least offers the occasional brittle or hard nut.
		Though the fate of each of Chocolat's characters is apparent almost from their first appearance, watching their emotional progress throughout the film is enjoyable enough to counteract their predictability.

	Chocolat. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		The first parallel is that Chocolat is very international in its cast and crew: Director Lasse Hallstr?m, his wife Lena Olin and Peter Stormare from Sweden; Juliette Binoche and Leslie Caron from France, Alfred Molina and Judi Dench from Great Britain; Johnny Depp from the U.S.; Carrie-Anne Moss from Canada; Hugh O'Conor from Ireland.
		Let's not try to over symbolize the movie and let's keep it to its very basic simplest message which was in the priet's final lesson on Easter Sunday at the end of the movie...
		It is the message given near the end of the movie and the director, Lasse Hallström, makes sure we notice it by making it one of the main scenes in the movie.

		Chocolat is an enchanting, moving and heart-warming tale of love and temptation, a big-budget movie with its roots in European art house cinema.
		The movie itself is a visual feast, a combination of a beautiful setting, rich, opulent colours and textures and a mystical atmosphere.
		Chocolat is a wonderful little film that has much to say people, as individuals and as groups.

	Chocolat - Movie Review
		However, all of these otherwise adept actors must deliver their lines in French-accented English, which comes off as a chintzy device to remind the audience that, hey, the movie’s set in France -- and perhaps also to explain the lack of an "e" at the end of the title.
		Of course, things all wrap up rather neatly in the end, something that becomes very apparent less than halfway into the film, and there’s even a Disney-esque treat to close the picture that’s sure to incite a few groans.
		Of course, Chocolat will be ideal fare for the Oprah’s Book Club crowd, and will surely be a great pick for seeing with mom over the holidays or maybe a cute first date.

	Movie Review \| Chocolat (2000) Juliette Binoche
		It's a fine little movie, perhaps a little too sweet on top (pun intended), but all in all, it is a well-filmed, well-directed, and finely acted piece of fluff entertainment.
		Juliette Binoche is just fine as the mother, a wandering spirit who, like her mother before her, has a need to go from town to town dispensing her own brand of cosmic sweets in the form of chocolates.
		But because "Chocolat" was not intended as a serious drama, you really have no trouble predicting what will happen and how everyone will change by the end of the flick, including our wandering chocolate saleslady.

		This is not to say that Chocolat is a bad movie; it isn't, but at the same time it is not a spectacular movie worthy of spectacular claim.
		The movie is funny, but sometimes I wonder if this film would have been better if it was a serious film, with comical themes built in.
		The movie is funny the whole way through and it is a comedy, but it definitely isn't the funniest thing I've seen in a long time (like As Good As it Gets was, which won itself a lot of nominations).

		Every year since 1992, they've had at least one of their movies nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award, and in 1997 and 1999, they won the award for "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare in Love" respectively.
		Both movies are lush with period-defining detail, and both movies are rife with messages about opening your mind, embracing change, and growing beyond your environment to become a better person.
		Ultimately, "Chocolat" is predictable and contrived, and it never fully blossoms into the emotionally gripping film that it wants to be.

		Her good-natured, honorable personality and psychic ability (she can predict what kind of sweets best suit each person, and magically cures each of them of their particular maladies) make her as irresistible as her delectable treats.
		An intelligent, exquisitely filmed fable that deals with the idea of 20th Century paganism rising up against a closed-minded church and a persevering aristocracy, CHOCOLAT is enjoyable, romantic, and entertaining, with affecting performances by both its stars and its supporting actors (Lena Olin and Johnny Depp.)
		CHOCOLAT was filmed in France and in Shepperton, England.

		I have to admit the only reason I wanted to watch this movie at first was because of Johnny Depp.

	Chocolat Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		Miramax Films has its Oscar hopes on "Chocolat", director Lasse Hallstrom's follow-up to his Oscar-nominated "The Cider House Rules".
		Based on the novel by Joanne Harris, "Chocolat" has already garnered four Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Juliette Binoche ("Three Colors: Blue"), Best Supporting Actress for Judi Dench ("Shakespeare in Love"), and Best Score for the orchestrations by Rachel Portman (who also scored "The Cider House Rules").
		However, if you expect a truly magnificent film on the basis of its Oscar-pedigree cast and crew, then you might be disappointed by the rather tame approach that it takes.

	MovieThumbs.com - Chocolat (2001) movie review
		According to the movie "Chocolat," it is. Oooooh, it is. "Chocolat" tells the story of a chocolate maker extraordinaire, Vianne (Juliette Binoche), who travels with her daughter, Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) wherever the North Wind takes her, enticing and arousing townspeople with her exotic flavours (we mean the chocolate, you dirty-minded naughties!).
		It's a sophisticated (and mouth-watering!) demonstration of the phrase "Don't knock it till you've tried it." It also addresses several deep-rooted issues ranging from the constraints of religion to the oppression of women, from sexual repression to the sheer bliss of surrendering to caprice.
		According to him, "The movie is charming and whimsical, and Binoche reigns as a serene and wise goddess." Go see it.

	Chocolat : film review
		All of this is to some extent a moot point, for Chocolat is a fable of a film, starting with the worrying line "Once upon a time".
		The characters are played by a strudy cast with accents from near and far, negating the need for place and time, to some extent.
		The Cider House Rules, his last movie, netted Academy Awards - and Chocolat is nominated this year for a couple too.

	Chocolat (Juliette Binoche) Movie Review @ TraditionInAction.org
		Marian T. Horvat, Ph.D. new PG-13 movie with the enticing name of Chocolat is receiving good press as a “delightful fable” screened on site in France in the charming fictional French village of Lansquenet.
		The characters are amusing and engaging, the plot at times banal and boring, but, all in all, many reviews are calling it a welcome bit of good harmless fun for the family.
		First, there are tantalizing scenes of rich chocolate-in-the-making and enticing finished products, which, unfortunately, even with all the technological advances in modern movie theaters, one still cannot taste.
