Reviews

  • A movie that's loving and wistful and often hysterically funny.

    Mick LaSalle - The San Francisco Chronicle

  • In Woody Allen's beguiling and then bedazzling new comedy, nostalgia isn't at all what it used to be - it's smarter, sweeter, fizzier and ever so much funnier.

    Joe Morgenstern - The Wall Street Journal

    26 April 2013

  • Darius Khondji's cinematography evokes to the hilt the gorgeously inviting Paris of so many people's imaginations (while conveniently ignoring the rest), and the film has the concision and snappy pace of Allen's best work.

    Todd McCarthy - The Hollywood Reporter

    26 April 2013

  • What's fresh about Midnight in Paris is the way he (Allen) identifies with Gil's idealization of the past, of the Paris that represented art and life at their fullest.

    Peter Travers - Rolling Stone

    26 April 2013

  • With Midnight in Paris, Allen has lightened up, allowed himself a treat and in the process created a gift for us and him.
