It's not that I feel it's over my head (though maybe it is), I just can't make myself care. At heart I have to admit I watch movies for entertainment or emotional stimulation. I don't want people reading philosophy to me and all this didactic preachery. I don't mind being challenged from time to time, but I don't want to be part of whatever revolution you're selling. I did enjoy the general spirit of the film, however, and the references to Bunuel.

Disappointing. Godard couldn't decide what to do in this one. It just becomes a mess and is really hard to sit through. Looks really bad compared to his other movies but that 10 minute tracking shot is one of the most incredible shots ever.

I do understand that Godard's film is an "open text" preoccupied with politics and with reinventing film language but it's such an exhausting watch. It does have some incredible elements (e.g. highway long take). Ultimately, though, it's way too uneven, often being thoroughly annoying.

Some great scenes at the beginning (like the long take), and a few interesting ones throughout, interspersed with boring and pointless scenes and an extremely drawn out and torturous ending. There's valid points about society and capitalism in here but they're done in such a boring fashion it's hard to care. It may succeed at being a political text and playing with film conventions, but that's kind of counterproductive towards enjoyment.

Intriguingly cynical, and fillled with awesome tracking shots and many hilarious scenes, but it got far too preachy toward the end. I think I can more or less grasp what Godard is trying to say, but the problem is I'm just not very interested in any of it. If I were, I bet I'd worship Week End as one of the all-time greatest political films made. But since I'm not, I don't.
