- 75TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghAs is always the case with compilation films, some segments are far better than others. But they're all so brief that the least of them passes quickly and the best are small miracles of economical storytelling.

- 60The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenA cinematic tasting menu consisting entirely of amuse-bouches. After two hours of such tidbits the palate is sated. But if there is no need for a main course, you still leave feeling vaguely disappointed at not being served one.

- 50Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumChicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumMost features composed of sketches by different filmmakers are wildly uneven. This one is consistently mediocre or slightly better, albeit pleasant and watchable. It helps that none of the episodes runs longer than five or six minutes.
- 50VarietyVarietyUneven but quite pleasant as a two-hour experience that acknowledges the idealized Paris people carry in their heads while wisely veering off the beaten track.
