All the beauty does not make the film even half as profound as it so obviously strives to be. Full Review |

Love, in Godard’s case, is indistinguishable from cinema and thus he sees the growing capitalist machine as a threat to both. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
Free-associative, unreasonable and stubborn, unresolved, and elegiac in tone, In Praise of Love is a great meditation on memory, aging, and love. Full Review |

What keeps me coming back to a filmmaker I never warmed up to, is that I find the rascal irresistible. Full Review |

Ultimately, though, In Praise of Love is about themes, about the anti-Hollywood sentiment that Godard feels so passionately about, and this is where the film begins to crumble. Full Review |

Godard has created such a hermetic, uncompromising world that only the hardiest cinematic spelunkers are likely to appreciate its depths. Full Review |

It's the intellectual ride of your life, as far as moviegoing goes. Full Review |

|
4/4 |
A haunting, intense work, intellectually exploratory yet too emotionally acute in its melancholy to be considered merely academic. Full Review |

The movie's ripe, enrapturing beauty will tempt those willing to probe its inscrutable mysteries. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
It's intriguing, visually arresting and utterly impenetrable! Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

1/4 |
An unsuccessful attempt at a movie of ideas. Full Review |

|
1.5/5 |
The 70-year-old Godard has become, to judge from In Praise of Love, the sort of bitter old crank who sits behind his light meter and harangues the supposed injustices of the artistic world-at-large without doing all that much to correct them. Full Review |

Gone are the days of an exciting existentialist movie mastermind who once knew how to stroke the consciousness of the enthusiastically challenged, adventurous moviegoer. Full Review |
