Our take on Midnight in Paris

Woody Allen's 2011 romantic fantasy follows a nostalgic screenwriter who, on a Paris trip with his fiancée's family, discovers that at midnight each night he is mysteriously transported back to the 1920s. Allen turns the conceit into a gentle, wistful meditation on nostalgia itself, letting the city serve as both dream and character while the hero's longing for a golden past collides with his present-day relationship. The tone is light and whimsical, the pace unhurried, and the humor rooted in charm rather than edge. Viewers who enjoy literate romantic comedy, a soft dose of magic and postcard-pretty Paris will be won over; those wanting sharp conflict may find it too featherweight.
