"Midnight in Paris" Review

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2013)

Midnight in Paris- ***1/2 (out of 4): Though I have always prided Woody Allen on sheer wit and philosophical insight, I pride him here for not only the previous areas, but also the originality of his screenplay. What we have here is a commentary on nostalgia, set in the gorgeous city of Paris, taking us between modern day Paris and the city in the 1920s, when artists and writers such as Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein populated the city. The Allen wit is there of course, but the true value of this film is watching Wilson interacting with these famous icons of the past and learning more about the present in the process. It really makes you feel good and think better after you walk out of this film.
