Under Paris

Under Paris is one of those movies that tries to be profound but ends up feeling hollow. The story is weak, offering little to no meaningful takeaway, and the characters don’t evolve in any way that makes you care about them. It feels like the filmmakers had a vague idea of what they wanted to achieve, but the execution completely missed the mark. The pacing is uneven, with scenes dragging on unnecessarily, and the overall narrative lacks cohesion. Visually, the movie has its moments. The cinematography captures some striking shots, and there’s an attempt to create tension through dramatic imagery. However, even these moments feel empty without a solid story or relatable characters to back them up. It’s a case of style over substance, where flashy visuals try to mask the lack of depth, but they don't succeed. In the end, Under Paris doesn’t leave you with much. It’s not entertaining enough to be memorable or thought-provoking enough to spark conversation. If you’re looking for a movie with compelling storytelling or emotional weight, this isn’t it. It’s a one-and-done kind of watch that leaves you wondering what the filmmakers were even trying to say.
