- 90Boxoffice MagazinePete HammondBoxoffice MagazinePete HammondWoody Allen's time-travelling comedy Midnight In Paris is a valentine to Paris and an absolute delight.
- 90The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyDarius Khondji's cinematography evokes to the hilt the gorgeously inviting Paris of so many people's imaginations (while conveniently ignoring the rest), and the film has the concision and snappy pace of Allen's best work.
- 90New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThis supernatural comedy isn't just Allen's best film in more than a decade; it's the only one that manages to rise above its tidy parable structure and be easy, graceful, and glancingly funny, as if buoyed by its befuddled hero's enchantment.
- 80SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirAllen seems to be paying attention in a way he hasn't always done in recent films, and has found a way to channel his often-caustic misanthropy, half-comic fear of death and anti-American bitterness into agreeable comic whimsy.

- 80Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe latest in a long line of actors playing a "Woody Allen type" in a Woody Allen film, Wilson bends his own recognizably nasal Texan drawl into an exaggerated pattern of staccatos and glissandos that's obviously modeled on the writer/director's near-musical verbal cadences.

- 70The New YorkerDavid DenbyThe New YorkerDavid DenbyMidnight has one big problem: Allen hardly gives Gil a perceptive moment. He's awestruck and fumbling - he doesn't possess, to our eyes, the conviction of a writer. But who knows? He's young.
