Mermaid in Paris (2020) User Reviews

Very different

[lucienm-60321 · 7/10 · 19 February 2023]

I watched this movie resisting the temptations to check the reviews before .

I was curious what score it would get.

Surprised to see it's rated at 5.7 I guess This is a movie not for everyone's cup of tea.

Personally, I liked it because it's very different to other fantasy movies. It's a potential cult movie .

However, the story is developing a little slow.

On the other hand, casting is very good.

Music, décors are wonderful.

I guess to enjoy this movie, you need to look into your inner romantic side and feel for "Gaspard" who is falling in love with this beautiful mermaid.

Impossible love?

Most of the outdoor scenes are at night which gives a special character to the story.

Nice fantasy story, very french

This movie reminds me to Delicatessen and JP Jenet movies. Made me laugh a lot. Good actors, nice decors, I highly recommend it.

Loved it.

This was an absolutely amazing movie. I have not seen a romantic movie like this for a long time.

This is not an A-List movie, it is an eccentric B movie but it completely spoke to me. The music is also excellent which is very important.

Love hurts

A beautiful fantasy romantic comedy film, which tells the love story between an artist, who has difficulty finding his place in this era, and a mermaid who washes up on the banks of the Seine.

In an intimate setting, small attentions gradually give way to the exaltation of great feelings.

It's a film that smells of the last century and recalls the great era of French cinema, much to our delight.

Love you to death (?)

She has a killer voice alright (yes there is the pun you've been waiting for). I had no idea where this movie was going - and it really walks a thin line between being serious and dramatic and has this horror element in it ... and the romantic love story that may or may not evolve. One thing is for sure, even without her voice that bedazzles people, you can't blame anyone falling for her - her being the "sirene" of the title.

Good actors indeed and some minor nudity - though that should not really be something that matters one way or another. It did remind me of a joke my english teacher used to tell (and I reckon it can be considered sexist if you gender ... well her, which I reckon is a thing we do anyway) .. a fisher caught one, but let it go. Another fisher asked him: But why? .. and he responded But how? ... now you may see the innuendo/pun in there - some might feel that is a question you should be asking. Not one the movie is asking in any way shape or form (no pun intended with this either).

Cute but also traumatic for some of the people involved ... a drama then ... can you dig it? And no not fishing for another pun ... well maybe I am.
