Reviews for Made in U.S.A.
| Tomatometer | Critic | Review | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
 2.5/4 |
While in theory it all sounds very interesting and intriguing and, well, Godardian, the whole never really comes together Full Review |
||
 10/10 |
A celebration of cinephilia and a blueprint of the writer/director´s obsessions, personal and political. Full Review |
||
|
4/4 |
Godard's films are records (documentaries, even) of personal interests, ecstasies, and agonies at a particular time in the artist's life. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
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. Full Review |

|
|
Few filmmakers can match Godard's abilities with color, composition and movement. Full Review |

|
|
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. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
Gorgeous, minor, and pivotal. Full Review |
||
|
4.5/5 |
In terms of Godard's body of work, the 1966 film is as challenging as it is important. Full Review |
||
|
|
The foreground drama ends on a query, while the Gallic hills and highways stretch to eternity. FIN. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
|
Made 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. Full Review |
||
|
4/6 |
It’s still essential for those interested in watching the filmmaker take cinema to new levels of allusion and modernist game playing. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

Jean-Luc Godard's Made in U.S.A. is not the celluloid holy grail, but it's close enough. Full Review |
