While in theory it all sounds very interesting and intriguing and, well, Godardian, the whole never really comes together

Reviews for Made in U.S.A.
1 - 15 (sorted by date)
A celebration of cinephilia and a blueprint of the writer/director´s obsessions, personal and political.
07/25/09
Godard's films are records (documentaries, even) of personal interests, ecstasies, and agonies at a particular time in the artist's life.
07/21/09
The fresh bombast of U.S.A.'s abnormal groove may not measure up to the other elaborate, beautiful contraptions that were made in Godard's peak years, but it makes many current films look stagnant, if not outright dated.
07/20/09
Few filmmakers can match Godard's abilities with color, composition and movement.
05/22/09
Godard fires dozens of ideas at the audience, and switches weapons in mid-stream, but if you only pick up a few ideas along the way, then Made in U.S.A. has succeeded.
04/03/09
Gorgeous, minor, and pivotal.
02/19/09
Top CriticIn terms of Godard's body of work, the 1966 film is as challenging as it is important.
01/16/09
Top CriticThe foreground drama ends on a query, while the Gallic hills and highways stretch to eternity. FIN.
01/14/09
In a time of severe economic uncertainty, it's questionable whether even the most esoteric of New Wave adherents will want to wallow in this kind of Godardian excess -- though it's also quite possible that the film has never been more timely.
01/09/09
If Made in U.S.A doesn't merit a place, with Weekend and Band of Outsiders, on the Godard's Greatest Hits compilation, it is still a great lost B side.
01/09/09
Top CriticMade in U.S.A. is a tonic experience; its style is both vibrant and severe like Godard’s 1985 Detective. But it’s also Godard’s most soulful movie.
01/07/09
It’s still essential for those interested in watching the filmmaker take cinema to new levels of allusion and modernist game playing.
01/07/09
While not one of Godard's best films, Made in U.S.A. does have its moments, many of them comic, such as the absurd dialogue in the bar scenes.
01/07/09
Jean-Luc Godard's Made in U.S.A. is not the celluloid holy grail, but it's close enough.
