If viewers get stuck on the “this would never happen in real life” notion, they will miss the point of this charming tale.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris stretches a bit to make high and low meet harmoniously, but it often manages the feat, thanks especially to Manville. As a force of British charm, you could imagine her Ada one day teaming up with Paddington.

It’s rare to find movies that value the mere idea of beauty, and this one—directed by Anthony Fabian—does so unapologetically.

A nauseatingly time-warped film about how the right fancy dress can change your life.

“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” is about more than just wanting a new dress; it’s about pursuing your dreams under impossible circumstances.”

Sarah’s Backstage Pass
“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” is a delightful movie, with a heartwarming story … This midcentury fairy tale reminds us beauty is important and kindness, honesty, and sacrifice for others are the keys to a meaningful life.

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris isn’t as inspired as the dresses it showcases but it is a well-mounted argument for the importance of fashion.

Lesley Manville shines in this charming, fairy tale-infused movie that offers a lovely diversion. In an era of superhero movies, it’s so refreshing to see an ordinary woman being the heroine of her own story.

Synopsis (Warning: Spoilers!)
Dior has fallen on hard financial times and because Ada is willing to pay in cash, they reluctantly agree to make a dress for her. While she remains in Paris for fittings, she stays with André and encourages him to express his affection for Natasha—who shares his interest in existential philosophy.
When Claudine is forced to fire several of Dior’s workers due to financial constraints, Ada organises a strike and forces Claudine and Christian Dior to listen to André’s ideas to modernise the business and make it profitable.
Ada returns to London with her dress. She loans it to one of her clients, Pamela, a struggling actress. Pamela wears it to an event where it catches fire and is ruined. Her friends at Dior read of the disaster in the newspaper and send her another dress, one she had initially coveted more than the dress she actually purchased.
