Observer (UK)

It sounds grisly, and at times the twee picture postcard Parisian milieu (street-lit cafes; padlocks on the Pont des Arts) drifts into snore-inducing cliche.

Rated: 2/5

Independent (UK)

The director Vincent Lannoo doesn't have quite the Lubitsch touch but, in its own slightly flimsy way, Paper Souls makes pleasant enough viewing.

Rated: 3/5

It's hard to think of a level on which the French metaphysical romance Paper Souls is not misguided.

Hilary A White

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

Buttressing the romance, humour and redemption is a sprinkling of childhood magic that provides a high charm quotient central to its appeal.

You need to take all of this with a large pinch of salt but the cast is game and it is as light as a souffl.
