Marion is one of the finest actors of our generation. She immerses herself completely in a role. I will never forget when she transformed herself into Edith Piaf, it was like she was possessed by her spirit or something. I've never seen anything quite like it. She's truly exceptional.

[@spongebobsquaretits]

that was one of the finest performances in cinema history

'The words changed her as she spoke them...'

"When I got the offer I was very surprised.. because I'm French" hilarious ahah and I love how eloquent Michael Fassbender is in this excerpt..

[@golferchin76]

Marion Cotillard is so attractive in a sad way. I felt so sad when I saw the tragic ending of "Allied"

[@cierra6940]

people forget just how amazing she actually is

[@zainab4132]

Marion is a phenomenal actress! She reminds me of Vivien Leigh. Not so much in looks, but they both have this way of completely inhabiting their characters.

[@nujoodalawwad1164]

[@BL-om2hn]

[@KayS471]

she's almost too good

[@cb-mj5if]

she's so good in this movie she Makes the movie

[@missdee4927]

Fassbender was great too. Especially when he starts to go bad.

[@tattooedandy93]

Marion Cotillard is just phenomenal here. The performance and the look she has in her eyes is so captivating. I always saw Lady Macbeth as the villain but here Cotillard makes her human and that human has been through a heartbreaking loss and is driven to find a new life. Perfect.

[@aleniey]

the clapperboard says 'The Scottish Film' lol

[@averyvolk3355]

THAT MADE ME SO HAPPY. XD

[@cathdodd5072]

That was brilliant 🤣

[@Alyssa-rb1kv]

I love the dark lighting used in some scenes, it allows you to focus more on the tones of voice that they use because you can't see their faces clearly.

[@missdee4927]

I was amazed by her in this. I knew she was a good actress but I wouldn't have thought of for this role. She ended up being my favorite screen interpretation of this part ever. And what I like best about her is her expressive face and eyes. She's made for the screen.

1:15 EYYYY THEY BELIEVE IN THE CURSE

[@garrison6863]

She was the only good element in the whole film, which was a POS.

[@jimmorrish6448]

[@Choices2aa]

Contagion La Vi Ven Rose Macbeth she won her first oscar and she was amazing as Lady Mcbeth. Shakespeare was a man ahead of his time with Hamlet Richard III A Midsummer Nights Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Marion was amazing she is always amazing in everything she does

[@salomevekua5972]

+launderground ??? what do you mean ?

[@BenNJerrys2xaday]

same

[@Nounismisation]

What a shame that when she speaks English in a day-to-day way she does that terrible croaky voice, nasal American mimickary thing.

[@valeriakaur3581]

Terrible movie!!! Roman Polanski's rendition was way better with more feeling.

[@esi3797]

Good or bad, you can't deny Marion did an exceptional job. I absolutely love her take on the "out damned spot" soliloquy. She did it different to how I've seen it before. Everyone else I've seen has portrayed Lady Macbeth in that scene as typical crazy, bouncy and jittery. However for Marion, she just sat down and spoke and you can clearly see all the emotion on her face and truly focus on what she is saying rather than all the actions of trying to wash some blood that isn't there and etc. It's phenomenal.
