Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even this early in his career, Godard knew how to make audiences viscerally experience and contemplate things they might otherwise not have wanted to.
– Keith Uhlich,
Time Out New York,
5 Mar 2013
fresh:
It's a classic espionage plot shot through with a typically heady mix of art and literary references: Klee and Velazquez, Bach and Haydn, Bernanos and Musil.
– Scott Foundas,
Village Voice,
5 Mar 2013
fresh:
Gradually it becomes clearer that, starting with Le Petit Soldat, Godard was forging his own individualistic art and becoming the most relevant director of our time.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
ubor's contemplative voice-over and Raoul Coutard's somber cinematography make this seem severe compared to the jazzy exuberance of Breathless.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Looked at in the context of Godard's later, militant work, this film's analysis is at once naive and fascinating.
