Movie Reviews

The Guardian - 10/10 by Guy LodgeSo many mood pieces sustain their mood only as far as the closing credits; the blissful melancholy of Paris, Texas endures with recall and association, however distant from one’s last viewing. Cannes has rewarded many a great film, but none that is quite so permanently, ever-retrievably embedded in my sense memory.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThen there are the miracles of the performances by Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski and Hunter Carson.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonParis, Texas is that rare thing: a movie of intelligence and beauty and poetry, but also based on emotionally believable characters and a forward-moving, narrative thrust.
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James Kendrickone of Wenders's best films, a stirring portrait of people striving against their disconnect that resists simple answers even as it rewards our emotional investment.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Noel MurrayWim Wenders’ heartbreaking, profoundly American masterpiece...The climactic scene – set in a peep-show booth – features a stunning autographical monologue that’s one of the most mesmerizing pieces of screen acting ever filmed.
TV Guide Magazine - 10/10 by Holly WillisIt’s indeed a beautiful film, one that will surely convince doubters that Muller is one of the cinema’s best cameramen. He gives the story a surface polish that hints of Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keefe Americana paintings. Some images are positively breathtaking.
The Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawIt is an eerie, sad story whose meaning disappears over the vast horizon as if on a highway heading away through the desert.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Joseph Jon LanthierParis, Texas may be missing a crucial piece of authentic Americana, but it still evokes an America most Americans yearn to gaze on. An America as thorny and carnivorous as a hawk talon, as raw and smug as a downtown mural, and as sweetly enigmatic as a vacant lot that doesn’t—that can’t—exist.
The New York Review of Books - 8/10 by Robert MazzoccoThough Paris, Texas is the most interesting American film I've seen all year, it is finally not a success.
Stream on Demand - 8/10 by Sean Axmaker... the mix of [Wim] Wenders' sensibilities and love of American movies and Sam Shepard's spare writing and take on fractured American families creates a sublime vision.
