The film is too wrapped up in some rather uninteresting bits of cleverness to bother making you believe in or care about the characters.

Reviews for Dans Paris
An affecting family drama in its own right, interspersing its melancholic mood with bursts of euphoria.
05/04/07
Empty and narcissistic New Wave homage from the unashamedly pretentious Christophe Honoré .
05/04/07
Like a 90-minute toothache-twinge.
05/04/07
It’s rather irksome.
05/04/07
A love letter to Paris, an homage to the Nouvelle Vague, and a Christmas family film.
05/04/07
The deftly executed Dans Paris is simultaneously a love-letter to the titular city, an affectionate homage to the French New Wave, and a moving study of a middle-class family haunted by the suicide of a teenage daughter.

Sensitive poignant portrait of the effects of depression and loneliness.

As lovely, insightful and warm a family portrait as they come. Duris and Garrel, both cast agains type, are excellent.

Touching, amusing and enviably economic.

Inside Paris is that rarity, a genuinely honest, unpretentious and delightful, small film, alternately sober and effervescent, steering clear of either heavy-going philosophizing or dreaded whimsy.
