Critics Consensus

Lost in Paris is whimsical to a fault, but its fanciful light-heartedness earns the audience's indulgence with charming performances and an infectious absurdity.

David Stratton

The Australian

For those who seek it out - and its release seems to be very limited - it should provide a welcome antidote to the more strident forms of humour that pass for screen comedy today.

Rated: 3/5

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

... the story of a Canadian naif (Gordon) who is stranded in Paris and falls for a local Chaplinesque tramp (Abel) is told with such broad strokes (lots of double-takes and achingly obvious pratfalls) that it eventually becomes wearisome.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Unfortunately, for all the photogenic Parisian trappings, the riverside tango and Eiffel Tower slapstick, the laborious jollity of the latest film from Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel never takes flight.

Rated: 2/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

It’s a surreal jaunt that juggles the cheekily uncouth with the innocently sweet inside its ever-present sense of whimsy.

Rated: 4/5

A harmless and inconsequential delight.

Substream Magazine

To want more from Lost in Paris might be to miss the point. This is a vaudeville genre revival, without any attendant frills or pretentions about what it is.

Rated: 3/5

Though I'm no fan of physical comedy I found this movie delightful. Fiona Gordon, as a kind, hapless, innocent, calamity prone waif was so fun to watch. The dance scene in the restaurant was so unexpected it was, IMO, brilliant. She alone was reason enough to watch the movie twice. I literally LOL several times.

Willian F

The film presents an audacious proposal and irreverent humor, characteristics that may appeal to those seeking something unconventional. Although the cast and characters lack a stronger emotional connection, with some of them feeling forced, the exaggeration and absurd situations in the film manage to elicit a few laughs. In short, it is an indie production that mixes interesting moments with others that lack greater depth, resulting in an experience that fluctuates between fun and disorderly.

This is a gem of a film, hilarious and heartwarming and filled with brilliant choreography and gorgeous color-drenched cinematography. I've seen all of Fiona Gorden and Dominque Abel's films and you must too!
