It has a certain smugness about it that has always kept me at a distance from enjoying a Godard film.

Reviews for A Woman Is a Woman
One of the most enjoyable of all the master's works.

The result is brash, defiant, gaudy and infinitely fragile.

Godard remains stubbornly experimental, as in the defiant use of set, the chopped-up bits of Legrand's score looming up throughout; still it somehow charms.

You can sing and dance your way through life, but you'll have to do it naked, with men leering at you.

If Jacques Demy had been a sufferer of adult ADHD, he might have made a film very much like Jean-Luc Godard's A Woman is a Woman.

A charming document of the great filmmaker's fanciful yet serious dreams for cinema.

Top CriticOne of Godard's more approachable and enjoyable films, a black-comic tribute to musical romance

A Woman Is a Woman is fluff, but quelle mousse.

A Woman Is a Woman may not have the urgency or the contradictions that made early Godard an icon, but in its new incarnation, it takes us back to a time when he could still provide the makings of a good argument.

Top CriticThe most playful film to come out of the French New Wave, it's also the last time Jean-Luc Godard appeared to have any fun.
09/05/03
Top CriticA playful experiment.
08/01/03
Une Femme Est une Femme moves us now because it's so playful and the players are so young.
07/29/03
Top CriticA Woman Is a Woman is slight and sometimes wearisome.

Top CriticA vibrant cinematic romp full of spry, meet-cute banter and teeming with New Wave in-jokes, Godard's 1961 film holds up because it seems far less concerned with the plot proper than the rhythm and spring of its intimate staging.
07/07/03
There's more vitality, more reckless love of the cinema, in any one scene than in a dozen current films.
07/03/03
Full of memorable images and odd flourishes, there's a whole network of gags and cunning cross references and Godard lets the characters move at their own pace, making for a film that's more relaxed and playful than his later work.
