Jacques Rivette’s free-form dissertation on the interzone between performance and spectatorship is the ideal filmgoing experience, even as the 'story' transcends all long-standing rules of narrative engagement.

Dialogue is minimal and events, such as they are, are propelled by a whimsicality characteristic of its era.

A witty salute to theater, female bonding, hallucinogenic candy, and those old standbys, fantasy and reality.

An over indulged, overlong film that has some gem-like moments but also repetitiveness and preciosity.

Jacques Rivette's 193-minute comic feminist extravaganza is as scary and unsettling in its narrative high jinks as it is exhilarating in its uninhibited slapstick.

Jacques Rivette's masterpiece is a deceptively light-hearted confection that begins and ends (or, rather, begins again) at the entrance to a Parisian wonderland.

A defiantly unhurried and opaque film in our consumer-friendly commercial cinema.

A charming and beautifully planned drama that resolves nothing -- and doesn't need to.

When this movie sags, it becomes a series of skits, but the best parts do achieve the spontaneity and impudent freshness that this director relishes.

Jacques Rivette’s spry and intoxicating 1974 comedy Celine and Julie Go Boating observes the way women look at each other, themselves, and the world around them.

With its commentary on art and fantasy, this is a radical experiment in non-linear filmmaking.

It is an incomprehensible, enjoyable, uninhibited slapstick romp.

In a perfect world, there would be an old movie palace somewhere that plays Celine and Julie Go Boating over and over.

Rivette's originality means that we find ourselves in the midst of what often seems like a dream.
