Midnight in Paris

Radio Times“Bravo, monsieur Woody!..” Right from the gorgeous opening montage of Paris street scenes, this is the most sustained and purely enjoyable movie he's made in 15 years...

Guardian“Woody is back on form - just about...” This may not be a return to the glory days, but it's a vivid reminder of them. That's almost as good...

The Independent“The surprise is Allen's still capable of grace, lightness, wit...” This film, Allen's 41st, is no masterpiece, but it's blessed with a sense of fun and a genial tone that seemed to have vanished from his work for good...

The Telegraph“Proof that Woody Allen isn’t down to the dregs yet... ” Midnight in Paris is a breeze: a bauble, but a jolly one. It glints, charms and then stops — not quite the three-course meal Allen used to serve us, but a tastier snack than any of his others lately...

Empire“Light, assured, and utterly charming: Woody’s gifts are still intact...” With greater ease than of late, and an elegance that escaped his ragged lay-off in London, Allen has made an adorable bagatelle, soft as a daydream, happy to wear its intellectual hat at a cocked angle...

Little White Lies“An absurdly charming and unexpected return to form...” Midnight in Paris isn’t a clutch at yesteryear after all; it’s a statement that Allen still has something left to say...

Total Film “Romance, nostalgia and the eternal allure of la ville lumiè...” Witty, featherlight and openly sentimental, this is Woody’s love letter to Paris and the most relaxed, likeable movie he’s made in years...

Time Out“A simple but honest vision...” In style and theme, it’s recognisable but not tired and the film’s lightly-played time-travelling element gives ‘Midnight in Paris’ a hint of boldness lacking in too many of his recent films. It’s fun and it’s most welcome...
