Critics Consensus: Potentially insurmountable for viewers not attuned to the director's wavelength, The Image Book is typically confounding - and ultimately rewarding - late-period Godard.

For all my initial bafflement, The Image Book continued to haunt me. Maybe that's all Godard wanted.
Disjointed and direct, exhilarating and soporific, cerebral and squirrelly: The Image Book is lots of contradictory things at once.
What's the rubric, one has to wonder, for evaluating a movie like this? Perhaps it's better to submit to its form than agonize over its content.
As you watch "The Image Book," it conjures a totemic darkness that can't be shaken off.
As with his previous idiosyncratic, often inscrutable late works, this will be seen only by a highly select audience of dedicated Godardians, and genuinely liked by just a fraction of those; one can essentially name them.
In the process of pulling movies apart, The Image Book forms a closing chapter in a work that Godard began with Breathless in 1960.
The Image Book contemplates what possibilities of salvation and beauty might still reside in our horrific and uncertain world.
A compelling collage that refuses to fit into any predetermined pigeonhole.
One thing is clear. No one, but no one, makes films like this.
Modern JLG is cinematic Marmite but he's still full of fight and bile.
A dialectic, aesthetic and ideological battle with irreconcilable factions at this point. [Full review in Spanish]
The Image Book... is another essay in the form of a collage in which image and sound reconfigure meaning from their confinements. [Full review in Spanish]
