For directors and actors who usually work on projects that take years to develop and months to film, this must have been a really fun lark. For the viewer, it’s a full cinematic feast.

Reviews for Paris, Je T'aime
Top CriticEven the least tales here flit by quickly enough to leave little bad aftertaste, and the best are savored like the last small bites of exquisite soufflés.
06/08/07
Top CriticThe best segments are as good as film gets; the losers can make you wince. On the whole, the good outweigh the bad and make the film feel like a minivacation in the City of Light.
06/07/07
Top CriticOn paper, the film looks like a slam dunk, but that isn't the way it plays out. Perhaps it's the time-limit constraints or maybe they just don't care, but most of the directors aren't working at full speed.
06/01/07
Top CriticThe result is that after two hours one gets the sense of having seen a panorama of human experience, of having witnessed a moment of time in all its true fullness.
05/25/07
Top CriticParis, je t'aime builds into something quite wonderful.
05/25/07
Top CriticIt's hard not to love Paris, Je t'Aime. A valentine to the planet's most romantic city, this delightful anthology of 18 short films will make you long to bid adieu to your humdrum existence and board the next plane to the City of Lights.
05/25/07
Top CriticSplit evenly between the inspired segments and those that fall flat, this ambitious omnibus is still worth watching.
05/25/07
Top CriticWith 18 pieces in all, there should be something here to tantalize everyone's tastes, or at least prompt you to contact your travel agent to book a vacation.
05/25/07
Top CriticMost features composed of sketches by different filmmakers are wildly uneven. This one is consistently mediocre, albeit pleasant and watchable.
05/25/07
Top CriticAs an ad for the city's charms, Paris couldn't have asked for a more sweetly jaundiced love letter.
05/25/07
Top CriticIt is possible to bring substance, as well as poetry, to the vignette form, but more often Paris, Je T'Aime is merely mundane.
05/24/07
Top CriticParis is well worth the trip.
05/24/07
Top CriticYou couldn't call it perfect -- the episodes are uneven -- but it has something that sometimes is better than perfection: real love for its subject and themes.
05/24/07
Top CriticPayne's film alone would be worth the price of admission.
05/18/07
Top CriticWildly, frustratingly uneven.
05/18/07
Top CriticIt's not sexy or stylish or glamorous or any of the things you might assume Paris would be before going there. But of all the segments that comprise the film, it comes the closest to depicting honestly what it feels like to fall in love.
05/18/07
Top CriticThere seems to be something in Paris air or water that encourages compendium filmmaking -- multiple characters and multiple stories. Paris, Je T'Aime may be the grandest such work currently on view.
05/11/07
Top CriticAnthology films usually work better in theory than execution, but this feature parade of shorts is a blithe, worldly, and enchanting exception.
05/09/07
Top CriticAfter having seen the 18 pieces that made the final cut, I can’t help wondering on what grounds the two rejected works were judged unworthy.
