Butterworth C "One of those anthology films that seems like a good idea but never quite works because it lacks the vision of one filmmaker to put it all together."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "Paris, Je T'aime's brimming declaration of love to the City of Lights leaves one breathless but dissatisfied."   Village Voice   Ed Gonzalez 3/5 "(...) Un film colectivo irregular, con segmentos olvidables, otros muy bizarros, y algunos realmente sorprendentes."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "A masterful achievement, both as a film and as a heartfelt love letter to one of the world's most romantic cities."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Alluring, all in all, and unfulfilling"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce B "Varied in tone and perspective, but also variable in narrative quality. But Paris je t'aime offers at least as many hits as misses."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A delightful and varied glimpse of men and women grappling with love, meaning, and loss in various neighborhoods of Paris."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A scattered pastiche of petite vignettes that displays a frenetic charm."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "It's like having the sampler plate at a restaurant: it never feels quite like a real meal, yet can be delicious just the same."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 3/4 "Finally, the city that has inspired so much love gets a love letter all its own."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito B- "God Bless Alexander Payne, the only director who actually embraces the collection's title as inspiration...and makes us fall in melancholy, vicarious love."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "You never know what you'll get, but it will always look ravishing."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Fascinating but shaky experiment."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2/4 "Typical of such compilations, results tend to vary wildly."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "There are a couple of unquestioned triumphs, a couple of unmitigated disasters and the rest fall somewhere in between the two extremes -- but it winds up being somewhat more satisfying in the end than many films of this type."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3.5/5 "Taken as a whole, it's a remarkably textured look at the City of Lights."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "If you've ever wondered why so many people go so moony over the City of Lights, then this breezy postcard is an excellent place to start."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C "[Glen] Hassard and [Marketa] Irglova, newcomers to feature film, show both natural acting skills and terrific musical ability."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "Eighteen short stories in 120 minutes is almost too much to take but this film seems to bind them all together, somehow, with love."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson A- "... modestly but richly sculpted pieces, a feeling carved out of a brief slice of time and place, the discreet suggestion of a relationship in just a couple of minutes."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3/4 "Offers a smorgasbord of distinct styles as it compiles an unprecedented movie mix tape of poetic interludes."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 6/10 "It's an engaging sampler of different perspectives that never quite connect, but it does make you want to contact your travel agent as soon as possible."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 8/10 "A fantastic travelogue."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1
