It's all very seductive.

Lane possesses a wry, self-deprecating grace that can invigorate the lamest cliche. But she's really up against it this time.

It has its moments, but mostly it feels like being stuck in the backseat on a long car ride.

Paris Can Wait may be a film clef of sorts -- there's a hint of the autobiographical in it, the suggestion of something experienced -- but even that angle doesn't make the movie terribly appetizing. What it needs is a little salt.

"Paris Can Wait" isn't exactly a feast, but it's a snack worth having.

Anne doesn't drive her own journey. She spends scene after scene passively letting Jacques tell her what to do, eat and think. And there's no detouring around that.

Perhaps worst of all are the limited expectations Coppola has for her own heroine. It's hard to love a movie where a woman finds herself from the passenger seat.

It would be cheering to report that it's a great movie, but you can't have everything.

The lesson to stop and smell the roses. (Or in this case, drink the vino). That lesson, like the charm of a restrained romance that unfolds over a few days on the road in Europe, is one that never gets old.

This is nothing but a vanity project, relying on the conceit that Anne has been unfairly languishing in her husband's shadow. Eleanor Coppola must have made many sacrifices for her husband's art, but with Paris Can Wait the sacrifice is all ours.

Paris Can Wait is Wealthy Empty Nester Porn ... The only missing ingredients are truly likable lead characters and something approaching an involving storyline.

"Paris Can Wait" is a modest, genteel piece of cinematic escapism, a silky testament to sensuality as impeccably tasteful as it is utterly undemanding.

"Paris Can Wait" feels more like a cinematic adaptation of a Frommer's travel guide than an actual movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 18, 2017

About halfway through, a sense settles in that something is bound to happen, that it can't just keep going like this, with one town, one meal and one dull conversation after another. But "Paris Can Wait" does keep going, and it never gets better.

Slight but charming.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but Anne's predicament takes for granted a level of privilege that's nothing short of nauseating.

Not every film is intended for a wide audience, I don't expect everyone to be swept away by Eleanor Coppola's romantic travelogue. This film celebrates the beauty of France and the importance of stopping and smelling the roses

Director Eleanor Coppola is 80, but you'd never know it from her seductive lightness of touch. Diane Lane is irresistible in this delightful love-triangle that costars the French countryside, looking so delicious you want to lick the screen.

If nothing else, [Coppola] has proven that she can keep up with the other members of her famous clan.

Sometimes beauty and charm are enough to turn a middling movie into pure ambrosia. Diane Lane has plenty of both ...
