Critics Consensus: One of the last times Godard could make film paradoxes with glee, A Woman Is a Woman is a mocking, genuine tribute to musicals.

The result is brash, defiant, gaudy and infinitely fragile.
A charming document of the great filmmaker's fanciful yet serious dreams for cinema.
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.
The 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.
Une Femme Est une Femme moves us now because it's so playful and the players are so young.
A Woman Is a Woman is slight and sometimes wearisome... A minor chapter in an early career.
Analytical whimsy, captivating dissonance
In it's (own very funny) way, the inverting bricolage syntax of A Woman is a Woman is as challenging to comprehend as the allusive consciousness stream of an Eliot poem
It has a certain smugness about it that has always kept me at a distance from enjoying a Godard film.
One of the most enjoyable of all the master's works.
it is best known as Godard’s ‘tribute to Hollywood musicals,’ because of some offhand references to such films and his sporadic application of music. It is a playful treat, though it has endured because of the strength of the plot and n
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.
Godard at his most playful. The jumbled score and dialogue make a one of a kind anti movie experience.
Super Reviewer
Sexy, charming and downright silly. Jean-Claude Brialy might be the only man on the planet who can repeatedly say "no" to Anna Karina and keep a straight face.
the most charming godard i have yet seen. anna k. is too adorable
This film takes you on a down-to-earth roller coaster ride as you watch to learn what the true meaning of love is. As Angela (a practising night club stripper) is unsure of her love for her current boyfriend (Emile), she believes the only way to finalize her love is to have a child with him. He refuses and believes that they have all the time in the world. As she results to talking to Emile's best friend, she is now in the middle of a split decision between whether or not to love him. This film truly represents what a romance film needs to be. The title suits the film picture perfectly, the story is basic, yet beautifully told, the editing is unique, the comedy/tragedy shakespeare references are amazing and wonderfully interpreted, but the real thing that this has to make it such a classic, it that it has random moments of musical numbers that will make any audience member smile. This film feels like the best play ever made, placed on screen! "Une Femme Est Une Femme" is a masterpiece!
