Works on every level and more. Hasn't aged at all and it is hilarious at parts. Had anyone else directed this, it would've been their masterpiece. But for Godard, it's just another gem in a long list of fantastic movies. FUCK YOU QVT

I can appreciate this sort of counterculture attitude and Godard's liberal sympathies, but this movie failed to affect me. Aesthetically, it is among his more conservative offerings, but it's representative of his scatterbrained thematic approach. There's just too much vague and arbitrary, existential drivel preventing this film from achieving a more cohesive and powerful political and social perspective.

Another Godard film that simply leaves me cold. Leaud's character is a lot like the one he plays in The Mother and the Whore -- pompous, boring and kind of a dick, spewing meaningless political soundbites. Godard seems to want to inspire something in the viewer, but exactly what is unclear. Mostly I was bored senseless (or annoyed by the "look how daring I am" stylistic flourishes) with only the occasional clever bit of dialogue or scene of genuine humanity keeping me interested.

The problem with this film, and most everything else Godard directs, is that too much attention is called to the film itself. Instead of letting his films work as one entity, Godard loves to put cool edits, cool shots, cool dialogue, cool jokes, anything cool into his movies and his films ultimately feel like a mish-mash of things that look cool, instead of a movie that works. However, this is probably the film in which that style is most effective

Godard explores youth rebellion and confusion, while maintaining his peerless and exhilarating visual style. I loved the constant interruptions, from the fighing couple of the opening scene to the bandit in the arcade room. Tarantino must be a huge fan of the renowned director. A genuinely enjoyable film, this belongs to Godard's long list of really fantastic films, suck it haters !!!

Unturnawayfromable. I've debated its perfection and determined that it belongs more to the class of film of Chungking and Casablanca than any other. ---- No typos in this review UNLIKE PICKPOCKET

Almodovar is celebrated for his poignant explorations of gender identity, and this is no exception. He should use spell-check, though.

A film that is as incoherent, passionate, scattered, disconnected, and confused as the youthful counter-culture generation it tries to portray. But that may just be the whole point in this film that presents so many aspects of pop culture across the board. Godard's visual direction is a little sub-par here than his usual style but certain fleeting scenes were memorable. As usual, Godard doesn't present a coherent message and leaves his audience as confused as the characters he presents.
