“life is not all moonlight and movies.”
“why can’t it be?”

oh my goodness. this will probably be my longest Letterboxd review yet because I loved this movie so much more than I ever anticipated. it was the cutest, most wholesome, heartbreaking, girliest, beautiful film I’ve seen in a long time. 

from start to finish, I was full of emotions. so many tears flowed both of happiness and sadness. I don’t know if a film has ever done that for me before. sometimes I giggled with glee for Mrs Harris and other times I was filled with sorrow. it was a beautiful rollercoaster. 

Mrs Harris has the most pure soul and I loved this character so so much. she continues to be so full of life, love, and optimism. Lesley Manville was a wonderful choice for this role that helped bring a sense of comfort with this character.

she deserves all of the love and designer dresses in the universe.

Such a sweet, endearing movie. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's worth watching at least once.

Lesley Manville did excellently as Mrs Harris and made me cry several times. I wish we could've seen her explore more of Paris outside of her walks with André though just to emphasise how magical her trip was. All of the cast was amazing, but the characters of Madame Colbert, Violet and André stood out; the first perfectly portraying the cold villain with a redemption ending, the second being the loveliest and most cheerful friend, and the third pulling off the handsome, kind and charming accountant.

The costuming was absolutely beautiful - no wonder the film got Oscar nominated. All of the dresses, especially the ones shown in the 10th anniversary show were exquisite and had me wishing I could go back in time. Added with gorgeous architecture and lovely soundtrack the scene was set very thoroughly and immersively.

Overall, this was a comforting watch that reminded me of one of my favourites, Julie & Julia; I will be coming back to Mrs Harris often.
