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

A pleasant folly.

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.

A charming and beautifully planned drama that resolves nothing -- and doesn't need to.
05/05/06
It is an incomprehensible, enjoyable, uninhibited slapstick romp.
01/01/00
A witty salute to theater, female bonding, hallucinogenic candy, and those old standbys, fantasy and reality.
11/12/07
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.

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

With its commentary on art and fantasy, this is a radical experiment in non-linear filmmaking.
07/16/03
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.

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

Rivette's originality means that we find ourselves in the midst of what often seems like a dream.
01/01/00
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.
05/09/05
A defiantly unhurried and opaque film in our consumer-friendly commercial cinema.

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