92% Midnight in Paris

All Critics (138) | Top Critics (41) | Fresh (126) | Rotten (11)

Midnight in Paris is a loving embrace of the city, of art and of life itself.

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.

Midnight in Paris is charming and clever, at times wickedly astute and hopeful.

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.

Woody Allen attracts promising players and does nothing with them.

I find this upfront fantasy to be his funniest, most agreeable comedy in years.

Allen in top form with Midnight in Paris.

Woody Allen's most entertaining comedy in years...

Ao abordar a insatisfa??o do protagonista com o presente em fun??o de seu romantismo irrecuper?vel, o veterano diretor garante o sucesso tem?tico de Meia-Noite em Paris.

'Midnight in Paris' is rewarding if not fully satisfying and indicates that, now closer to 80 than 70, the writer-director has found peace with life as he finds it.

This isn't a good Woody Allen movie. No, this is one of the great Woody Allen films.

Let's face it, Woody Allen makes some bad movies or at least only slightly entertaining movies. He might have been great in the past but that day has long gone.

Allen may be a fatalist, as he often claims, but this film is whimsical and romantic-a divertissement that recalls one of his most endearing and original comedies, The Purple Rose of Cairo...

Woody's most inspired comedy in years. Charming, and very enjoyable- even if you're not normally a Woody Allen fan.

Woody's last picture, 2010's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, managed to sneak onto my year-end "10 Worst" list, so color me stunned that Midnight in Paris exudes both charm and cleverness in equal measure.

This comedic masterpiece by one of America's legendary filmmaking geniuses is a fitting companion to "Paris, Je T'Aime" and like a fine wine should be savored by Allen's legion of loyal cinephiles.

Gil still believes in magic and Golden Ages and idolizes the writers and artists of the Lost Generation the way some boys worship Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning.

Woody Allen's unhurried tribute to the art, passion and power of the written word and to Paris is fabulous. His best film in a decade.

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

Though Wilson is considerably younger, blonder, more handsome and more Gentile than the Woody we know, he's somehow a natural in the role anyway.

A charming, lighthearted little lark of a film.

Considering Allen hasn't made an unqualified success since 1999's Sweet and Lowdown, it's easy to shrug off Midnight in Paris' occasional fumble when weighed against so much cleverness and canniness and, bien s?r, irresistible charm.

A clever and fun cinematic postcard that can transport susceptible romantics to the City of Light.
