Review of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

In "Mrs Harris Goes To Paris" (remaking 1992's "Mrs 'Arris Goes To Paris") Lesley Manville (perfectly cast) is a 1950's middle-aged house-cleaner who after some ups & downs dreams of owning an houte couture Dior dress, so leaves her London pals (inc Ellen Thomas & Jason Isaacs) and clients (inc Rose Williams & Anna Chancellor) for Paris and the likes of Isabelle Huppert, Lucas Bravo, Alba Baptista (stunning) & Lambert Wilson - where luck & emotions fluctuate but salt o' the earth kindness shines through. Co-writer (with a team) & director Anthony Fabian plays it safe, cosy & warm to deliver a charming & nostalgic cuppa tea of a dramedy.
