Midnight in Paris Reviews
Midnight in Paris is a very unselfish and lovely approach to inspiration, love, and the written word. A must watch.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 8, 2017
This combination of whimsy and romance is, for me, much more successful than Allen's previous European city film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

It's passable Woody waffle designed strictly for fans.

If Allen's next stop on his Euro tour is anywhere near this enjoyable, consider our bags packed.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 6, 2011
It's fun and it's most welcome.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2011
Light, assured, and utterly charming: Woody Allen's sublime gifts are still intact.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2011
In the end it's about seeing through the illusion of nostalgia and yet not being disillusioned — about cherishing the past, while living in the present.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 24, 2011
Allen holds onto his vision of a Golden Age better than anyone else, even while readily acknowledging that it's just a grand illusion.
| Original Score: B | Jun 13, 2011
"Midnight in Paris" is a bonbon to ease the craving for Allen's earlier, funnier films.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 10, 2011
Midnight in Paris is a loving embrace of the city, of art and of life itself.
| Original Score: A- | Jun 10, 2011
Considering Allen hasn't made an unqualified success since 1999's Sweet and Lowdown, it's easy to shrug off Midnight in Paris' occasional fumble when weighed against so much cleverness and canniness and, bien sûr, irresistible charm.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2011
Our hero has found his groove among the Lost Generation and, for us, there's some amusement to be had in sharing Gil's thrills -- it's like stepping into a Classic Comics version of A Moveable Feast.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 3, 2011
Midnight in Paris is charming and clever, at times wickedly astute and hopeful.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 3, 2011
There is breezy comedy to be made of a YouTube-age writer meeting the icons and idols of a bygone, classical era, but Allen goes deeper, expanding on his time-travel device to make unexpected and unexpectedly generous observations.
| Original Score: A- | Jun 3, 2011
Woody Allen attracts promising players and does nothing with them.
| Jun 3, 2011
I find this upfront fantasy to be his funniest, most agreeable comedy in years.
| Jun 2, 2011
Woody Allen's beleaguered heroes have never been reluctant to indulge in a little fantasy to get what they want.
