Jessica, raised by her grandmother, comes to Paris and gets a job at a bar across from a performance complex where a play, a concert, and an art auction will occur the same evening. It's a world in flux: the play's star wants off a popular TV soap that's made her rich, and she covets the lead in a film about de Beauvoir and Sartre; the pianist hates the concert circuit, but his wife who's his manager may leave him if he quits; a self-made widower with a girlfriend less than half his age is selling his collection of modern art - his son, a professor, objects to his father's love life. The stage manager at the complex is resigning after 30 years. Jessica sets the tone for how all plays out.
Leave your thoughts about Avenue Montaigne.
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanParis looks stunning in the film, but even the City of Lights can only do so much for a poorly-written script. C'est dommage. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsOriginally titled "Orchestra Seats," Montaigne takes a page from the "Amelie" playbook, without the fancy visuals or magical realism. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIt made me feel like a doll, the grin plastered across my face when it was over as plastic and permanent as the one on any random couture coifed Barbie. |
| Arizona RepublicRichard NilsenWhen it all wraps up as neatly as the treacliest Hollywood film, we don't feel cheated, but rather enjoy the satisfaction of a story resolved, and we're happy for each of the people we have spent our hour with. |
| Chicago ReaderRonnie ScheibEffortlessly interlinking the stories through the jaunty perambulations of a fresh-faced waitress from a local cafe, Thomson's crowd-pleaser makes up in refined schmaltz what it lacks in innovation or profundity. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinIt's one of those 'what's-not-to-like' movies, a fantasy about life and Paris that passes painlessly, a trifle elevated by its Parisian settings and our desire to lose ourselves in them. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekWhile [director] Thompson's version of [Paris] as a democratic microcosm, where artist and audience mingle, is instantly familiar, it feels more dramatic device than genuinely inviting. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerA warm-hearted French confection, the sort of breezy, lightly sophisticated boulevard comedy that was once plentiful in Gallic cinema, and makes a happy comeback here. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussSomething like 'Love Actually,' in Gallic. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyWhile AVENUE MONTAIGNE is something of a trifle (which makes it easy to understand why it did not garner an Oscar nomination when there were far more deserving features), it still is a pleasant and enjoyable movie. |
