Paris je t'aime was a cute film, but also a film that left me wanting more. Most of the stories involved characters that were very interesting and like-able, but your time with them only lasts 5 or 10 minutes. Kudos to those filmmakers for getting me to enjoy the time I had with their stories/characters in such a short amount of time!

Paris je t'aime is truly a breath of fresh air. Many modern American movies are thick with plot, drama and action just for sake of having a discernable 'wow' factor, but Paris je t'aime is a clever little movie that is really just a combination of short love stories that take place within Paris--ranging anywhere from divorce, to monster love, to love of a child.

It was great to go to a movie and not have to invest so much of myself to it. The stories are so diverse that you really get to experience a wide variety of lives and situations, a few of which are bound to touch you in some way.

  Anthology films usually work better in theory than execution, but this feature parade of shorts is a blithe, worldly, and enchanting exception.

  Even if you don't like the stories, the filmmakers seem incapable of finding a corner of Paris that is not photogenic.

  The best episodes have the emotional resonance of full-length features, and yet I didn't want them to be a moment longer than they are.

  One of the chief pleasures of Paris, Je T'aime -- is seeing how each filmmaker adheres to their assignment of making a movie about love in Paris but still comes up with a distinctly personal work that bears their artistic sensibilities.

  The result is that after two hours one gets the sense of having seen a panorama of human experience, of having witnessed a moment of time in all its true fullness.

  The stories run a gamut of emotions: melancholy, bittersweet, provocative, witty, poignant, silly and fanciful.

  As is always the case with compilation films, some segments are far better than others. But they're all so brief that the least of them passes quickly and the best are small miracles of economical storytelling.

  Paris Je T'Aime has something going for it that not every movie can claim: It always has Paris.

  Because Paris, Je T'Aime's episodes are so short, the duds don't stick around long enough to grate much. But the good ones also don't get to explore their assigned Parisian spaces as much as they could.
