Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris is, at its core, Paddington 2 (2017) for elderly women. With that being said though, the film manages to be so full of life and charm that its appeal becomes universal.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 7, 2025

It’s candy floss and cliché, but it works because Fabian’s characters, while stereotypes to some extent, are given room for empathy and error.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2024

da advocates for weaponized incompetence, women performing all the practical labor but not having any authority or a right to make any decisions. Women do not own their labor, it is owed for the world to function even when they are not respected.

In the midst of high voltage blockbusters, your summer escape is here.

Mrs. Harris’ unrestrained enthusiasm for life rubs off on everyone she meets and, if they let it, that magic will rub off on the audience too.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, starring Lesley Manville, dazzles from start to finish while brimming with unparalleled hope.

| Jul 23, 2023

Manville is perfect in the title role and the film, though fanciful, is very easy to take.

MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS is thus a film that proves to be both a welcome distraction when judged at face value and a massive disappointment when judged against the potential of what it could have been.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 10, 2023

A pleasant, hopeful experience that could even end up bringing a couple of tears to certain members of the audience (I was VERY close to crying at one point). Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 23, 2023

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris movingly weaves a tale about finding an outer beauty that reflects the purity of heart within. It’s as pleasant as you want a movie like this to be, yet it does so without simplification that patronizes the audience.

This is almost pure wish fulfilment fantasy, but it's delivered with confidence and style.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 6, 2023

...a thoroughly agreeable endeavor that benefits from the superb efforts of Manville and her various costars...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 16, 2022

It takes a lot of sophistication to keep a film like this from becoming cloying. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is the champagne of nicecore.

... Makes you feel at ease, like having a snack by the stove in a cozy room. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 12, 2022

Anthony Fabian wagers the tone of the Paddington movies, with a Wes Anderson aesthetic and Mike Leigh's vindicating spirit. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 9, 2022

A film in which Manville pulls out all her weapons as a professional actress, shining well above the story she leads by herself to its happy ending. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2022

What takes it from a watch-on-a-plane movie to a must-see matinee is a galvanizing and endearing performance by Manville.

| Original Score: B | Nov 28, 2022

There is much to be enjoyed, but this might ultimately prove too disposable for its own good. The film works best as an escapist fairytale and as such, it’s ravishing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2022

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris substitutes the yearning for a man's love with a dress. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 2, 2022

Such an endeavour won’t change the course of cinema, but, my word, will it make you feel special; and, right now, that’s more than enough of a reason to support this European excursion.
