5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, warm and enlighting film, 1 Nov 2008

By	P. Wheller "Bond 1971" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A beautiful film, brimming with humanity. Yes, some of the stories overrun (i.e, the fisherman), but overall, a wonderfultake on life, and all its associated ups and downs. Juliette Binoche was execellent, and truly deserves an ocasr nod for her performance. Some very funny laugh out moments (the kids dancing scene) and sad ones too. This is a must see film. Paris is beautifully shot and acted.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unequivocal masterpiece, 7 Aug 2008

By	D. Hepburn (Glasgow) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have just watched it on the big screen at the GFT in Glasgow. Cinema at its finest. The city itself is featured spectacularly and the stories of the main characters are told with warmth and humour in a masterful screenplay. The subtitle translation for English speaking viewers captures all of the subtle pathos and comedy and the soundtrack is sublime. You wait a long time for gems like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Storytelling woven into a rich fabric, 28 Sep 2008

By	H. A. James "Hywel James" (Devon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I, too, have just seen this new movie by the excellent Cedric Klapisch at the cinema, and while I am enthusiastic, I have given it four rather than five stars. Why? Well, it's simply that here the director has taken a large number of individual stories and woven them into a fabric which, while it is rich and varied, the cloth itself has some holes and threadbare patches. The chief reason for this is the failure to sustain the stories sufficiently skilfully. Some narratives disappear, and are picked up hurriedly towards the end; others are given undue prominence, only to be dropped without effective resolution. The editing is sometimes abrupt, where it should flow seamlessly in order to move the film on and maintain our interest. In this regard, the film can be compared, unfavourably, I'm afraid, with the hugely popular but underestimated (in technical terms), "Love, Actually". While Klapisch's movie is much darker, it attempts a similar feat of storytelling, but "Love" succeeds in interweaving quite flawlessly an enormous number of separate threads and sustains the onward momentum.

So, a very enjoyable and thoughtful film, with great shots of Paris and some fine performances by a strong team of actors, but not a five star job this time.
