...The film is both epic in scope and intimate in focus....The lead actors are superb...
Sight and Sound
Prevert's script is simply a miracle... The photography is dramatic yet harmonious, the sound-track is subtle. Like the deacon's wonderful one-hoss shay, it is all of a piece and every piece of it is of the best workmanship.

Esquire Magazine
Rating: 4/4 --
Shot in 1943 during World War II, Children of Paradise overcame so many seemingly impossible obstacles that today the film seems enchanted.
Miami Herald
...It's paradise to see the film's famed Boulevard of Crime -- 1840s Paris as street carnival -- rendered with revived sparkle after its negative's 57-year workout...
USA Today
5 stars out of 5 -- The multi-layered screenplay, stunning sets and a terrific ensemble are just some of the enduring pleasures of a truly collaborative masterpiece.
Total Film
...One of the few films that has the durability and emotional texture of a great 19th-Century novel. As a piece of romantic/dramatic cinema, its peers are few, its superiors quite simply nonexistent...
Los Angeles Times
Don't skip this one if you can. I saw it in Paris and it remains one of the most memorable pictures I've seen.
