Reviews
Taken as a whole, Paris Je T'Aime slips down easily enough and offers a few whimsical smiles, but you may find yourself craving more substantial nourishment before the end.
You expect quality to vary from segment to segment, but the misses outweigh the hits by a depressingly high margin.
This bittersweet love-letter to France's capital is as richly cosmopolitan as the city itself.
Taken as a whole, it's a remarkably textured look at the City of Lights.
A masterful achievement, both as a film and as a heartfelt love letter to one of the world's most romantic cities.
Generally, the comic pieces are sturdier than the abbreviated dramas. ...As might be expected, a couple of the chapters are misfires... Happily, 'Paris' saves some of its prime material for the last half-hour.
Finally, the city that has inspired so much love gets a love letter all its own.
...a charming ode to the title city, less because of how it celebrates Paris' romantic reputation than for the way it lovingly tweaks that image.
Even the downbeat segments are optimistic, and that's what unifies them.
Paris Je T'aime is a poignant and ultimately rewarding experience. It offers something for everyone, and provides an insightful, multi-cultural look at the City of Lights.
Offers a smorgasbord of distinct styles as it compiles an unprecedented movie mix tape of poetic interludes.
The bee's knees, the cat's pajamas and the lobster's dinner shirt of movies currently playing.
For directors and actors who usually work on projects that take years to develop and months to film, this must have been a really fun lark. For the viewer, it’s a full cinematic feast.
Nothing about Paris, Je T’aime feels stiff or hindered by its haphazard, sometimes truncated, but always sincere love letter to and tour of the City of Lights.
A little uneven in style, tone and quality. But the picture that emerges of Paris is romantic, cosmopolitan and hopeful.
