Reviews for In Praise of Love
Even when he's not at his most critically insightful, Godard can still be smarter than any 50 other filmmakers still at work.
11/20/02
Like the best of Godard's movies ... it is visually ravishing, penetrating, impenetrable.
09/19/02
Top CriticWitty, contemplative, and sublimely beautiful.
09/09/02
Love, in Godard’s case, is indistinguishable from cinema and thus he sees the growing capitalist machine as a threat to both.
04/23/05
It's the intellectual ride of your life, as far as moviegoing goes.
06/20/03
Top CriticThose who don't entirely 'get' Godard's distinctive discourse will still come away with a sense of his reserved but existential poignancy.
09/14/02
Godard has pared down his extravagances into a densely concentrated, resonant simplicity.
09/05/02
The movie's ripe, enrapturing beauty will tempt those willing to probe its inscrutable mysteries.
05/28/03
Top CriticHeartbreaking, elegiac, contentious and mordantly funny.
01/18/02
Top CriticAt once dreamy and acrid, startlingly beautiful and numbingly polemical.
09/26/02
Top CriticThere's a narrative -- and an argument -- here, but what's moving first, and also finally, is the movie's mournful celebration of its sensuous being.
09/03/02
Top CriticFree-associative, unreasonable and stubborn, unresolved, and elegiac in tone, In Praise of Love is a great meditation on memory, aging, and love.
07/05/04
A densely constructed, highly referential film, and an audacious return to form that can comfortably sit among Jean-Luc Godard's finest work.
11/19/01
Waiting for Godard can be fruitful: 'In Praise of Love' is the director's epitaph for himself.
09/16/02
Viewing In Praise of Love... should be approached as if you were attempting to drink out of a waterfall -- you're simply going to miss some.
09/27/02
His work transcends the boy-meets-girl posturing of typical love stories.
03/05/02
This slippery, undefined, but gaping loss makes Godard's forceful, elegant, and profound film all the more unshakable.
10/11/02
When a character comments 'too many changes are in the air that lack a means of expression,' one senses that Godard, at 72, is still struggling to communicate those changes through the medium of film.
03/06/03
The Debris of Godard’s smile----‘In Praise of Love,’ memory, resistance and artistic genius
