Critics Consensus

Minor but engaging Audiard, Paris, 13th District explores millennial love through a visually compelling lens that's partly undercut by its episodic narrative structure.

Scout Tafoya

RogerEbert.com

Audiard’s not been this sharp and electric in a decade at least, understandably energized by his incredible cast and by the intensity of the sexual dynamics explored within.

David Sims

The Atlantic

The result is sloppy but funny, and includes a charming debut performance by Lucie Zhang as a mixed-up call-center employee.

Digital Trends

...a love triangle more banal than stirring, and a sex-life mosaic more melodramatic than the tales Tomine told across a series of panels.

Tilt Magazine

Audiard manages to take the disconnected urban lifestyle of young adults and present a more faithful rendition than we’ve come to expect. He reminds us that sex is not just sexy but also an effective cinematic tool.

Marshall Shaffer

Decider

A vision of the City of Light that feels different enough to warrant our attention. These interwoven stories carry wider resonance that extends well beyond a Francophone audience, too, with their stark sexual attitudes and poignant romantic heartbeat.

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

It interrogates, with a certain episodic coarseness, the dilemmas of love in the digital age of gender identity and intercultural diversity, but in general its overall vision loses its dramatic potential. [Full review in Spanish]

Paris, 13th District is a bold and sensual film. A film that explores modern love with insight, humour and pathos. Acclaimed director Jacques Audiard makes films with power and emotional resonance and even though this film could be considered having a lighter touch it still stikes a blow in many ways. Shot in stark Black and White this fine film is the story of three Paris millenials and how their lives become intertwined. There is Emilie, a bored call centre operator, who places an ad for a flatmate. Camille, a teacher, answers her and they soon form a relationship. Nora attends the same university that Camille teaches at. She is an older student and is trying to reshape her life. She eventually meets Camille and they also form a relationship. This film does really well in exploring relationships and love and the modern dating society. It's all handled with care and tenderness and warm humour. Performances are exceIlent, especially Noemie Merlant and Makita Samba. I really enjoyed this film and how it didn't lean into cliches at all.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

All though a bit bumpy at the start, Paris 13th District smooths out any issues and comes home in style. Edgy and sleek, the plot is engaging, the cast is top notch and the directing does the job. Naomie Merlant is on a roll since the Lady on Fire and is becoming an engaging and versatile actress. Sophomore Makita Samba plays the male lead and does so with a character loaded with style and aplomb. Newcomer Lucie Zhang also does well although some may find her character a bit overdone. All total a watch worth watching
