The film presents a fractured and largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Edith Piaf. Although scenes often jump back and forth across decades, parts of her childhood take up much of the first part, and the movie ends with her death, and the performance of what is perhaps her signature song, Non, je ne regrette rien. The film has received at 75% approval rating at RottenTomatoes.com, a website that tracks the critical consensus of films. From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Edith Piaf's life was a battle to sing and survive, live and love. Raised in poverty, Edith's magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Cerdan and others - made her a star all around the world. But in her audacious attempt to tame her tragic destiny, the Little Sparrow - her nickname - flew so high she could not fail to burn her wings.
