Sometimes settling for something simple, instead of being extremely ambitious is an admirable thing. Such is the case with Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. It doesn’t aspire to be anything extravagant, just a clean, compact, well-acted, cleverly-written pleasant film. Its message about dealing with feelings of discontent is similarly not groundbreaking, but extremely welcome. It’s sheer brilliant escapist fun. This refreshing, fun piece of art seems so easy, but I think Allen just has a lot of practice.
