Paris Can Wait's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
Director Eleanor Coppola is 80, but you'd never know it from her seductive lightness of touch. Diane Lane is irresistible in this delightful love-triangle that costars the French countryside, looking so delicious you want to lick the screen.
Indiewire
Like a fine conversation, which her solid script mostly delivers, Coppola keeps the tension in the air like a lightly bouncing ball.
The Hollywood Reporter
As it is for the two characters for two days, it?s an escape from real life, from anything consequential, a chance to delight in the pleasures that humans can take from what grows in the earth and from an amiable companion?s company.
The Wrap
The minimal character development will frustrate filmgoers seeking substance, as will Coppola?s stilted dialogue.
The A.V. Club
The movie obviously intends to send the audience on a trip along with its characters, indulging in food-porn close-ups of meals and wineglasses. But its tourism is second-tier Linklater by way of Nancy Meyers reading a Zagat guide aloud.
Variety
We?d expect more from the wife of Francis Ford Coppola. We?d expect more from anyone.
Entertainment Weekly
An airy, half-baked meringue of a movie, Paris Can Wait is the kind of film that leaves you famished ? not just for la belle vie on screen but for the stronger sustenance of plot and character.
