Top CriticMoody, mannered and supremely irritating.
09/07/07
Top CriticDans Paris has a lot of whining about women, interrupted with impulsive trysts and bouts of dancing.
08/31/07
Top CriticThe situation is less interesting than Honoré's eclectic style...

Top CriticDans Paris is limned with human stumbling, snatches of temporary joy laced with existential disquiet and the desperation of souls at sea in a sterile universe but not to be denied grasps of pleasure.

Top CriticBy the time it's over, you feel as if you've taken a graduate course at UCLA film school.

Top CriticStructurally, it is mostly windup with very little delivery.

Top CriticDans Paris feels fresh and quirky enough to have been made 30 years ago.
08/10/07
Top CriticMake a movie about depressed people, and what do you get? A depressing movie.

Top CriticThere's a vivid comedy to this family's emotional state of siege, an easy confidence to Honoré's camerawork, and plenty of beautiful bodies.

Top CriticA film that serves as a kind of manic tour through French film history. Ah, l'amour! Ah, le cinema!

Top CriticWith Dans Paris, Christophe Honoré picks up where the early François Truffaut and his comrades-in-cinema left off -- with a playful, liberatory style, and a song in his heart.
