Critics' reviews

"The movie tells no clear story and has no clear ideas"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"'Jefferson in Paris' is nevertheless a disaster, intellectually infuriating and thoughtlessly racist."

Eve Zibart: The Washington Post
"A wax-museum movie that is both bland and reverential despite its focus on the great man's love life"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"'Jefferson in Paris' isn't merely wooden; it's concrete. Nor is it simply bad; the thing is astonishingly bad."

Rick Groen: The Globe and Mail
