I went into this film in Sydney with very little in the way of expectations. I found it extremely funny, and Canet is extremely self depreciating throughout the film as he looks as his life as an elder statesman of French cinema. The film is very funny, and excels in revealing the nuances of French cinema through Canet and his wife Marion Cotillard. I felt that it definitely could have been about half an hour shorter, so could have done with tighter editing perhaps. However, if you want a feel-good film look no further. Allez Canet.

Guillaume Canet is told by a young co-star that he's no longer Rock'n' Roll and can't sell films anymore. He then tries to prove her wrong and gets help from his girlfriend, Marion Cotillard. Thanks to 2 great perfomances from Guillaume Canet and Marion Cottilard Rock'n Roll succeeds on providing great laughs but also some moving and terrific scenes from the 2 talented actors who seem to have a great time and a real chemistry in general but also some great messages about fallen idols and how age can change someone's life to the worse or in this case? to the better. (10/10)

the movie "Rock'n Roll" shot by Guillaume Canet is quite entertaining yet disclosing film of what it's like to be an actor in modern day. characters have their real names, action happens on a daily basis and that gives movie documentary esthetic. Marion Cotillard plays her role in an extremely good way as always.the movie is full of funny scenes.All in all it show how over-commercialized is film industry and how it destroys your identity and the way of living.

I had the good fortune of having a tiny speaking part in this movie, a first for me. The Director and Star of the movie, Mr Guillaume Canet, is a charming and very gracious person and made us all feel comfortable and welcome. The movie is about an actor who fears he is no longer at his peak at only the age of about 43 and all the drastic measures he takes to recreate himself in a younger image. I think all people at a certain age can relate to this, but especially film actors. His cast is made up of several famous French actors and actresses playing themselves, including the director's real life partner Marion Cottilard. This is a comedy and there are some really funny moments but it is also full of pathos as you see the man go through near hell to try to become physically younger and ruin his looks and nearly ruin his marriage. Great performance from Mr Canet who co-wrote the script. And he surrounded himself with actor friends and even a few family members to make the film even more personal. it was a marvelous experience for me and i think the film is a great way to spend 2 hours and enjoy seeing the inside of the French cinema world.
