While you're watching it, it is cozy and enjoyable, the same way a sleeping cat in your lap is cozy and enjoyable. Read full review

The trouble with A Cat in Paris lies not in its orchestration, which is mostly impeccable, but with what little is being orchestrated. It's well plotted but a little rote, clever but a far cry from ingenious, attractive but not particularly evocative. When it ends, it leaves behind the faintest of paw prints. Read full review
