      88% 77 Reviews Tomatometer 74% 10,000+ Ratings Audience Score Gaston (Louis Jourdan) is a restless Parisian playboy who moves from one mistress to another, while also spending time with Gigi (Leslie Caron), a precocious younger friend learning the ways of high society. The platonic relationship between Gaston and Gigi changes, however, when she matures, but the possibility of something lasting seems unlikely since he won't commit to one woman. Gigi refuses to be anyone's mistress, however, and Gaston must choose between her and his carefree lifestyle. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered May 14 Buy Now

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It may not be one of Vincente Minnelli's best, but the charming and flawlessly acted Gigi still offers enough visual and musical treats to satisfy.

      alan g Nice musical about Paris at the run of the 19th century. Outdated but fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Alec B Some of the Lerner are Lowe songs are legitimately good, but there just isn't much else here that I find all that appealing, even as a fan of musicals. That might simply be a result of how poorly the romance has aged. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Terry S If you want to take a trip back to the schmaltz of the 50's this is the film for you ! Totally unrealistic and romantic to a fault but populated by some of the brightest bygone stars. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review Greg N A classic!!! Louis Jordan and Leslie Caron are spectacular, not to mention the timeless music! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review Mark A Beautiful, lavish with wonderful songs and incredible acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Audience Member The whole musical is funny, original, and filmed in Paris (France)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Pauline Kael New Yorker Vincente Minnelli directed, in a confident, confectionery style. Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Jonas Mekas Village Voice Gigi has more imaginative use of cinema than all our recent pseudo-realist movies put together. Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Philip K. Scheuer Los Angeles Times Gigi calls for all the carefree superlatives in the reviewer's usually begrudged lexicon: captivating, delightful, charming, touching, exhilarating. Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap A gorgeous and colorful Parisian romp, though the musical that won the 1958 Oscar for Best Picture hasn't aged particularly well, especially in its gender dynamics. Rated: 4/5 Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Mark Johnson Awards Daily Nobody captures Parisian romantic musicals quite like Vincente Minnelli did, so if you can get past the huge gap in age differences (she’s only 16), there is a lot of charm and beauty in the film. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Gigi is spontaneous and uncalculating, her company fun precisely because there is no gamesmanship of sexual tension.
