"After two continent-wide trips and a plunge into the French capital's underworld, French director Cédric Klapisch stays close to home and well above the ground for Paris, his valentine to the City of Lights."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

3.5/5
"What with all the fatal accidents, deadly diseases, bar fights, and virtual stalking going on, this could almost be an American film."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

B
"French auteur Cedric Klapisch achieves a sublime use of the City of Lights as a living and breathing body of humanity."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"'Paris' works its spell in perceptions heightened for anyone suddenly made aware of mortality and on what was formerly taken for granted."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

3/5
"Un friso de personajes reales o imaginarios, desde la mirada idealista, desesperada y compasiva del protagonista. Una declaración de amor a París, con rasgos de sensibilidad, humor y poesía."  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

4/5
"A visual valentine to Paris and an enchanting dramady about a group of strangers whose lives mysteriously interconnect."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

""Ritzy, shabby, trashy Paris," as one character describes it, told through ditzy, flabby, flashy filmmaking."  The L Magazine  Henry Stewart

3/4
"Paris keeps us involved not because of momentous plot developments but because the production incites our curiosity to see what will happen next."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"[Y]ou probably cannot ever go wrong with a flick set in the City of Light and starring one of the most luminous actresses ever to grace the arthouse screen..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1.5/4
"Klapisch's "It's a small world" plotting is sunk by both bland artistry and dull insights into his milieu."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

8/10
"An explosion of acting, sets and costumes that leaves the viewer with a feeling of near permanent glossiness."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

6/10
"...this Paris is a fantasy unlikely to be encountered by either tourist or resident, but considered as a travelogue for intellectuals, it's an enjoyable way to spend a few hours"  Playback:stl  Sarah Boslaugh

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
