Lesley Manville, once more verifies her unerring acting talents in a role that has taken her a career to inhabit. As Mrs. Harris, Manville captivates the audience with her earthy and charming portrayal of a British war widow whose charisma enchants the staff at Christian Dior in Paris.
While accidentally attending a Dior fashion show, Mrs. Harris captures the attention of a Marquis who is a widower himself.
The film is not without issues, but none that aren't overcome by excellent pacing, acting, directing, and most of all, writing.
I was in love with Mrs. Harris in the first five minutes and then in love with the entire cast soon after. I have not been so enchanted by another movie this year. Lesley Manville deserves a BAFTA for her performance, period. She OWNS the film and without her fantastic work there would not be a Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.
If you have any heart at all you will love this film. Mrs. Harris' dreams become ours and we are enriched in the process.
Au revoir!
