Marion Cotillard’s 15 Best Movies, Ranked

French actress Marion Cotillard has been acting in TV and film since she was young, and her movies include everything from independent French dramas to major box office blowouts. Since first appearing in a short film at age 7, Marion Cotillard has appeared in nearly 80 movies in a variety of capacities. She’s played background characters and supporting parts, but more often than not, she’s led films with her ability to play both dangerous and pathetically sweet in equal measure. With just a small look, Cotillard can go from cold to warm and back again.

Over her lauded career, Cotillard has earned two Academy Award nominations, winning once; four Golden Globe nominations, winning once; and been nominated another four times for the Screen Actors Guild. She’s appeared in musical biopics and Christopher Nolan-style blockbuster epics. Cotillard has found a dual home for herself, fitting in well in quiet independent dramas, seamlessly blending in as a real person, but still having enough charisma and presence to play larger-than-life characters in major blockbusters from populist filmmakers. No matter what she’s in, Cotillard can be counted on to give a great performance.

Lily Bertineau (Marion Cotillard) smiling with her hands on her hips in Taxi.

Taxi is the first film in the French comedy series which starred Marion Cotillard until Taxi 4 in 2007. Cotillard plays Lilly Bertineau, the girlfriend of Daniel Morales (Samy Naceri), a talented driver who becomes a cabbie. Daniel is blackmailed by a police inspector into going after a German gang. This is one of Cotillard’s earlier movie roles and though her part is fairly simple, she makes the most of it. She’s having as much fun as anyone else in the cast and is exactly the type of girlfriend a character like Daniel would be willing to risk everything for.

Marion Cotillard’s first English-language role came in Tim Burton’s celebrated late-period movie, Big Fish, as Joséphine Bloom, the wife of Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor). In Big Fish, Cotillard shows her uncanny ability to turn even the smallest part into something worthwhile. Joséphine is newly pregnant in the movie and only appears every so often to advise her husband. Still, each time she’s on-screen, her big eyes and gentle kindness make everything she says sound relevant and worth paying attention to.

Barring one bad scene in The Dark Knight Rises, Marion Cotillard brings a fire to the third Christopher Nolan/Bale Batman film that threatened to be extinguished after Maggie Gyllenhaal left the series in the previous movie. Marion Cotillard plays Miranda Tate in the film, a wealthy philanthropist who falls in love with Bruce Wayne (Bale) and is partially responsible for re-inspiring the caped crusader. However, her character hides a dark secret, and Cotillard’s ability to play sweet and sour is put to excellent use when she eventually turns face.

Marion Cotillard has a supporting part as Tina Lombardi, a vengeful and furious French woman who helps Mathilde but whose own methods are much more violent. Cotillard is commanding in the role, and the rage behind her smile in only a few scenes is almost frightening. It’s a part that could be silly but instead is made formidable by Cotillard.

This fast-moving, heart-pounding, and undeniably disturbing movie was eerily prescient of what would happen to the world when a dangerous virus is unleashed on an unsuspecting populace. Marion Cotillard plays Dr. Leonora Orantes, a World Health Organization (WHO) epidemiologist, who puts her life on the line to save a remote village. It’s a powerful role that Cotillard plays with a brave weariness.

Midnight in Paris may be film purgatory as one of Woody Allen’s notable modern movies, but it’s still a mesmerizingly beautiful and relevant film about nostalgia, romance, and what it means to be an artist, all wrapped in the bright lights of modern and 1920s Paris. Owen Wilson stars as Gil Pender, a disillusioned writer in a sham relationship who’s transported to the 1920s during his vacation to Paris. There he meets Adriana (Marion Cotillard), among a cast of real-life artists from the time. Kind, smart, and encouraging, Cotillard is the perfect guide through the impossible time jump.

​​​​​​​Pretty Things is a French drama by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, based on the 1998 novel Les Jolies Choses by Virginie Despentes. The film stars Marion Cotillard in dual roles, as Marie and Lucie, twin sisters with a love-hate relationship. While Marie is quiet and reserved, Lucie is a pin-up model who chases fame in Paris, placing herself into the dangerous world of late-night France. Cotillard was not far into her career when she appeared in this role, and yet she pulls off a stunning and veteran performance as two characters who she makes different but still close enough to credibly be twins.

The film features a star-studded cast including Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, and Nicole Kidman, and explores Guido’s tumultuous relationships with the women in his life as he attempts to find artistic inspiration.

Nine is notable as being one of the few flops that Daniel Day-Lewis has ever been a part of, but that doesn’t mean the film is a failure. Plenty works about the romantic musical drama by Rob Marshall, including Marion Cotillard’s performance as Luisa Acari Contini, who is based on Giulietta Masina, Federico Fellini’s wife. The Federico stand-in, Guido Contini, is played by Day-Lewis. Cotillard earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role, and she is far and away the best part of their film. Whether she’s acting, singing, or sighing, she’s mesmerizing.

In It’s Only the End of the World, a playwright named Louis (Gaspard Ulliel) returns to his family home after a 12-year absence to tell them he is suffering from terminal cancer. There, he reunites with his brother, Antoine (Vincent Cassel); his mother, Martine (Nathalie Baye); his younger sister, Suzanne (Léa Seydoux); and Antoine’s wife, Catherine (Marion Cotillard). It’s a tragic and beautiful film, filled with gripping and tense performances, particularly from the suspicious but love-filled Catherine. The whole is less than the sum of the parts, but it’s still a moving film.

Carole Achache (Marion Cotillard) smoking a cigarette in Little Girl Blue.

​​​​​​​Marion Cotillard stars as Carole Achache in Little Girl Blue, a writer and photographer who took her own life in 2016. The film is based on the thousands of hours of photos, letters, and audio recordings Carole’s daughter Mona was able to find. A very unorthodox film, Little Girl Blue sees Cotillard often prepping for her scenes before jumping into the character. It’s cathartic, strange, and takes a singularly chameleonic performance to pull off correctly. Rarely has an actor’s process been so clearly documented, and Cotillard does not disappoint.

The film follows Piaf’s life from childhood, all the way to her death in 1963 after dying from liver cancer. It’s a star-making performance from Marion Cotillard, who is ferocious, brave, and heartbreaking as the singer. She is completely mesmerizing in the performance and the fact she is so recognizable and can still disappear into the character is remarkable.
