Critics Consensus

Lost in Paris is whimsical to a fault, but its fanciful light-heartedness earns the audience's indulgence with charming performances and an infectious absurdity.

For those who seek it out - and its release seems to be very limited - it should provide a welcome antidote to the more strident forms of humour that pass for screen comedy today. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 11/29/2017
2/5
... the story of a Canadian naif (Gordon) who is stranded in Paris and falls for a local Chaplinesque tramp (Abel) is told with such broad strokes (lots of double-takes and achingly obvious pratfalls) that it eventually becomes wearisome. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 11/26/2017
2/5
Unfortunately, for all the photogenic Parisian trappings, the riverside tango and Eiffel Tower slapstick, the laborious jollity of the latest film from Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel never takes flight. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Jul 20
4/5
It’s a surreal jaunt that juggles the cheekily uncouth with the innocently sweet inside its ever-present sense of whimsy. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 03/17/2022

To want more from Lost in Paris might be to miss the point. This is a vaudeville genre revival, without any attendant frills or pretentions about what it is. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Par H @Parhwy 5d Lost in Paris (2016) (Paris Pied Nus) is an 83-minute-long French-Belgium-Canadian comedy I hired from my local library and watched in April 2026. This is an odd, stylised film which is silly in a light-hearted way, with elements of pantomime and slapstick. The story itself is quite simple; the plot has many, many coincidences and conveniences. The acting at times is sometimes subpar, especially Fiona (without being derogatory, her character and the acting felt like a lesser-known Muppet… hard to explain however sincerely that is what I thought). Dom, though an annoying character, is well acted. Paris is seen from some of its blandest, dullest angles. Rewatch? No. Recommend? Maybe? Not sure. 4/10. See more Leah S @Mssanta Apr 18 Though I'm no fan of physical comedy I found this movie delightful. Fiona Gordon, as a kind, hapless, innocent, calamity prone waif was so fun to watch. The dance scene in the restaurant was so unexpected it was, IMO, brilliant. She alone was reason enough to watch the movie twice. I literally LOL several times. See more Willian F @RT16190245 11/10/2024 The film presents an audacious proposal and irreverent humor, characteristics that may appeal to those seeking something unconventional. Although the cast and characters lack a stronger emotional connection, with some of them feeling forced, the exaggeration and absurd situations in the film manage to elicit a few laughs. In short, it is an indie production that mixes interesting moments with others that lack greater depth, resulting in an experience that fluctuates between fun and disorderly. See more Mimi F @RT62085831 10/30/2024 This is a gem of a film, hilarious and heartwarming and filled with brilliant choreography and gorgeous color-drenched cinematography. I've seen all of Fiona Gorden and Dominque Abel's films and you must too! See more 07/18/2021 Whimsical, yes. A nice break from the banal See more 03/07/2020 A unique and wonderful film.
