It's attractive and easy to slip into, but [Allen] didn't put enough thought into the design, and it soon falls apart.

There is breezy comedy to be made of a YouTube-age writer meeting the icons and idols of a bygone, classical era, but Allen goes deeper, expanding on his time-travel device to make unexpected and unexpectedly generous observations.

Our hero has found his groove among the Lost Generation and, for us, there's some amusement to be had in sharing Gil's thrills -- it's like stepping into a Classic Comics version of A Moveable Feast.

It's charming and smart, and riddled with little joys.
May 03, 2015
Breezy and casually profound, with a killer gimmick that keeps on giving.

Mr. Allen's habitual romanticizing of the wealthy has grown stale and is especially problematic in this recession.

"Midnight in Paris" is a bonbon to ease the craving for Allen's earlier, funnier films.

I continue to be utterly taken with Midnight in Paris.

Midnight in Paris is a loving embrace of the city, of art and of life itself.
June 03, 2011
Midnight in Paris is charming and clever, at times wickedly astute and hopeful.

It's fun and it's most welcome.

... Allen brings his fantasy to life with such affection and joy that he transports us into his dream come true as a shared fantasy.
