 4.5/5 |
Godard establishes then subverts his clean, mirrored construction with an array of fascinating ideas that attempt to understand symbiotic but unequal relationships. Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
This intellectually scintillating think-piece from the eternally relevant Jean-Luc Godard finds Hell and Purgatory right here on our sorry, scorched earth. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
The 73 year-old enfant terrible can still take society to task for failing to recognise that it's our dualities that enrich life rather than any fanciful notions of global unity. Full Review |

Jean-Luc Godard's unfathomable influence on filmmaking has allowed him to enjoy a kind of grandfather clause in recent years. Full Review |

4/4 |
Jean-Luc Godard returns with another of his extraordinary, heated, agitated essay films. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
Godard attempts to paint modern Europe as Dante's various circles of Hell -- but one fears he has lost 90 percent of the audience in the first 10 minutes Full Review |

4/5 |
Director Jean-Luc Godard, the enfant terrible of the French New Wave, is now in his mid-seventies, yet he's lost none of his desire to challenge an audience. Full Review |

This film, which awakens your inner philosopher and encourages it to breathe, may not be an experience for everyone; if only it were. Full Review |

1/5 |
My review summed up in three parts: war is bad, nature is good, and Godard is senile. If this is our music, somebody needs to get a better soundtrack. Full Review |

|
C+ |
There's plenty here to unpack, most of it regarding modern malaise, and the rewards are proportionate to the amount of work you want to put in. Full Review |
||
|
D- |
Marries a banal message with a directorial technique that's now more sclerotic than innovative. Full Review |
||
|
B- |
Too abstract and lacking in a moral compass to be going anywhere that was real. Full Review |
||
|
B+ |
Fractured, dense, opaque and demanding in a way that few other filmmakers would dare to make it. Full Review |
||
|
C- |
An impenetrably ponderous, smarty-pants rumination on war (among other things), the very sort of film for which the term 'artsy-fartsy' was devised. Full Review |
||
|
|
It's the first Godard film in years that hasn't made me want to rip out handfuls of my hair and then jump out a window. Does that count as a comeback? Full Review |

|
|
plays out as a series of dry pronouncements from intellectuals. But Godard has not lost his taste for experimentation. Full Review |

3/4 |
Patience and curiosity help to reveal its heartfelt, hypnotic and richly poetic musings as serving as both a cry for help and an act of hope. Full Review |
