- 80Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoLos Angeles TimesCarina Chocano2 Days in Paris is pure Julie Delpy, figuratively and otherwise. Since first becoming known to American audiences in the early '90s, she's revealed herself to be an artist of sundry and unexpected talents, with a distinctive voice and point of view.
- 75Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerChristian Science MonitorPeter RainerMuch of the nattery byplay seems improvised, and the results are very hit and miss – inspired contretemps alternate with gabfests that seem to go on forever.
- 75TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghWeighty and downbeat though that sounds, Delpy's film is delightfully light, especially when it's parsing the infinite variety of horrible French cabbies.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceDelpy shows Linklater's influence in her willingness to let actors work and walk at length, and she has an unusually playful style for an actor turned filmmaker.
- 70SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirDelpy's writing is sharply observed and often hilarious, and her own performance as the perennially enraged Marion -- whom she says was inspired by Robert De Niro's Jake LaMotta in "Raging Bull" -- is one of her most memorable.
- 702 Days in Paris doesn't quite meet the "Before Sunset" standard of intricate, subtle dialogue and sharp psychological insight--then again, neither do many movies this side of Eric Rohmer. That this one is even bearable is a surprise; that it's occasionally insightful and hilarious is a treat.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanDelpy wrote and directed this study of a relationship heading (it would seem) for the rocks. She stages it with a funny and diverting improv-y flow.
- 63USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigDelpy is clearly a gifted writer, especially of comic dialogue. But she and Goldberg don't quite work as an engaging pair.
- 60New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThe movie should be seen with a large, responsive audience--the better to live with it in the moment instead of worrying about where it’s going.
- 40The New YorkerAnthony LaneThe New YorkerAnthony LaneAnyone hoping that 2 Days in Paris will revisit such peppy romance (“Annie Hall”), however, will be frustrated. There is an extra rawness here, a determination to confront and annoy.
