Critics: “Light, assured, and utterly charming: Woody Allen's sublime gifts are still intact.” - Empire Magazine

“As a filmmaker, Allen has grappled with the temptations of repeating himself instead of forging a fresh path. You can feel that conflict here, and watching him work it out is exhilarating.” - Rolling Stone

“Allen wants you to love Paris as much as Gil does and wants to show you the magic, the romance and the spark the city holds for him.” - The Standard
