Sra. Harris Vai a Paris

I can't compare it to the original as I have not seen it. But this version, is charming and heartfelt.

For a very "clean" type of movie, it was refreshing to be honest.

The movie is not meant to be dissected as it's true to the era it's based on.

This film was not on my radar at all. But I watched it. And loved it. I thought the acting was on point. The directing was beautifully done, the movie reminded me of a film from the 50s or 60s. The writing was well done and pretty much perfect. The film had a nice feel to it making it easily rewatchable. Overall its definitely a under the radar film, but it should be watched. Its highly enjoyable for the whole family and is a very sweet film.

A fun and refreshing afternoon at the movies. Very little drama, some fun lines and totally predictable story. So what? That's what fun movies are for.

Mrs. Harris is maybe not the hero we deserve, but the one we need. Everywhere she goes, her kindness spreads like an infectious disease; I'm pretty sure a bit spilled out of the screen and got some of us in the audience. She handles life with such an authenticity, It's marvelous, refreshing.

There's nothing too unexpected about this film, but certainly not a waste of time. The world needs to go see Mrs Harris!

This is a well-directed and well-acted film about an English charwoman who becomes besotted with a Dior dress, and eventually manages to cobble up the funds to go to the House of Dior in Paris to buy one. But a Dior dress is not something she can buy off-the-rack, and so Mrs Harris has time for side adventures. The film is well-directed and well-acted, and allegedly the re-creations of Dior are authentic.

This is a European production, not Hollywood. Everyone speaks their own language, and at one point one French character admonishes another to speak in English (in the presence of Mrs Harris). At some points, I wished for full closed-captioning rather than just subtitles, since sometimes Mrs Harris slipped into a difficult-to-understand accent. Also, there were background plot points that just flashed by, so I needed an explanation from a companion.

Decades ago I had read the novel, and so was eager to see the film. I don't remember details, but the bones of the story was there, even though the ending was tweaked. A recommended film for those who wish to avoid the summer blockbusters.
