Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: The situation is less interesting than Honore's eclectic style... Read more

Noel Murray, AV Club: Besides the restless style, Dans Paris is remarkable for being more about familial bonds than French cinema tends to be. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A lighthearted riff on heavy themes, Dans Paris is a knowing throwback to the playful, profound works of the early French New Wave. Read more

Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: Moody, mannered and supremely irritating. Read more

Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune: Dans Paris is limned with human stumbling, snatches of temporary joy laced with existential disquiet and the desperation of souls at sea in a sterile universe but not to be denied grasps of pleasure. Read more

Jan Stuart, Newsday: Dans Paris feels fresh and quirky enough to have been made 30 years ago. Read more

V.A. Musetto, New York Post: Make a movie about depressed people, and what do you get? A depressing movie. Read more

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Structurally, it is mostly windup with very little delivery. Read more

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: There's a vivid comedy to this family's emotional state of siege, an easy confidence to Honore's camerawork, and plenty of beautiful bodies. Read more

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Read more

Cliff Doerksen, Time Out: Read more

David Fear, Time Out: Read more

Jay Weissberg, Variety: Inside Paris is that rarity, a genuinely honest, unpretentious and delightful, small film, alternately sober and effervescent, steering clear of either heavy-going philosophizing or dreaded whimsy. Read more

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: A film that serves as a kind of manic tour through French film history. Ah, l'amour! Ah, le cinema! Read more
