Critics Consensus

Paris Je T'aime is uneven, but there are more than enough delightful moments in this omnibus tribute to the City of Lights to tip the scale in its favor.

I like the mime's "Tour Eiffel" the most. Humorous, free and passionate. The tourist one played by Buchemi is a good satire, too. The Christopher Doyle's Chinese one is disturbing.

These type projects are invariably a mixed bag; of ways to approach the short form by the directors; genres (though very little variance here); but mostly in quality. My favorites are the wacky vampire short, with Olga Kurylenko and Elijah Wood, and Juliette Binochet as the grieving mother who receives surcease of suffering from a cowboy on a horse tromping les rues de Paris. The first and last vignettes were both very good as well. The weakest for me, were the Steve Buscemi one and one where a man is senselessly murdered a some worthless street urchin. Nice work overall, for a mixed bag. 3.2 stars

A love letter to the city of Paris, Paris, Je T'Aime consists of eighteen short films, each by a different director and starring different actors, that cover a variety of iterations of love and longing. The varying styles of the directors (which includes the likes of Olivier Assayas, Gus Van Sant, the Coens, Alfonso Cuaron and Tom Tykwer, among others) gives each segment a fresh and unique feel. The cast (including Juliette Binoche, Natalie Portman, Gena Rowlands, Gerard Depardieu, etc.) does a remarkable job considering the time constraints of the short films and the stories, the quality of which varies from segment to segment, are generally top notch. Of note, the continuous take is Cuaron's Parc Monceau is remarkable and Alexander Payne's 14E Arrondissement is unexpectedly heartbreaking.

There are a few islands of entertaining arthouse cinema here, but they're surrounded by an ocean of pointless and boring vignettes. If you can stream it for free, the following episodes are worth watching: "Tuileries," the Coen Brothers' hilarious satire of tourist paranoia; the charming "Tour Eiffel," about a mime who finds love; "Quartier Latin," a thoughtful look at amicable divorce; and the clever "Parc Monceau" and "Faubourg Saint-Denis," about which little can be said without spoiling them.

A collection of vignettes at different sites in Paris around the theme of love. I found this film interesting, quirky and engaging. Though some stories were better than others. At 2 hours it was overly long. They could have cut some out and expanded the good ones.

A Good Movie To Watch

The limited runtime of each vignette [...] doesn’t let any one note linger too long, meaning the anthology feels like a series of light, short courses rather than a gorge of something sickly.

Paris Je T'aime is a bit of a fiasco. Boasting an obviously large budget -- judging by the sharp production values and international cast -- the film does little to capture the magic of Paris, and rather comes off as a pretentious bore.

Rated: 2.5/5

A wonderful film - it is a vibrant, shimmering love letter to Paris that warms the heart in ways that few films can.
