Prepare to fall in love with Paris...

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2012)

The title speaks for itself. Midnight in Paris (2011) discovers Paris through a man's troubles, not the other way around.
The plot is original and the message around the theme of "nostalgia" is delivered clearly. Nevertheless, it is disappointing that the movie itself isn't particularly exciting - no mystery or suspense, no moments of intensity, and no obvious comedy. Thankfully, the beautiful setting and gorgeous music make up for the shortcomings. (Even as I am writing this review, I am listening to the soundtrack.)
I think most people watch for the visual and auditory appeal; the movie isn't a head-scratcher or a shock.
