1. Observer

10 / 10

Gorgeously photographed by Iranian-born Darius Khondji, the film is so breathtaking that it’s worth a ticket for the cinematography alone. See it, and you’ll want to book a weekend in Paris with your next tax refund.

1. Göteborgs-Posten

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: At "Midnight in Paris", the 76-year-old director shows that he is still the best in the world at sharp and funny so-called 'oneliners'.

2. Ljud & Bild

8.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: This is a cute and incredibly charming film that engages and inspires, and as usual, Allen has brought together a cast of star actors where even the comedian Wilson performs surprisingly well!

3. Nöjesguiden

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: When Wilson finally gets passion in Coco Chanel's sidekick, he realizes that it is the same even in the 1920s, and the discussion about what one has and does not have is thoroughly unraveled. The film goes from cozy to philosophical.

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film is a thoroughly well-written, fun, charming and loving tribute to old art and literary heroes as well as romanticism itself and the lovely Paris.

8. Expressen

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Midnight in Paris" really feels like something a 75-year-old has pulled out of a dusty hiding place in order to give Allen fans a genuine reason to go to the cinemas.
