| CinePassionFernando F. CroceArt can't hold back the world's horrors in Jean-Luc Godard's grave and quizzical fugue |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullRandom and uninspired, the film gets a few points for its looks, but nada for its plot. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayFor Ever Mozart's wryly postmodern take on art vs. reality struck even some longtime Godard defenders as unconscionable at worst, tedious at best. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe playful and well-meaning spirit of the film carries it through its shakier moments of awkward narration and inscrutably busy camerawork. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannThe fact that he creates such a haphazard structure for them, and neglects to develop his character or devise much of a plot, suggests that Godard is more interested in talking to himself than to his audience. |
| User ReviewDavid Mabsolute art. cinema in its highest form as a band of french film students set off to war-torn sarajevo to make a film entitled "The Fatal Bolero". one of the most beautifully-filmed motion pictures i've ever laid eyes on |
| User ReviewPrivate UFor Ever Mozart 1-20-07 (or so) the trouble with godard, for me, is that he packs so much into his movies. i'm speaking specifically about his later period films. i watch them like i'd read james joyce, if i were to read james joyce. as an educated movie watcher, with a BFA in film production, i know to watch his movies. but there's so much to it! i usually get caught up in the philosophical dialog, or the amazing camera shots, that i miss the story. i watch more for his technique. i watch because i love his movies from the 60s. he just packs so much into it, and i spend the whole time reading the subtitles and glancing at the camera shots, and not enough time processing, until the movie is over. i know i'm missing a lot. i know i need to watch these movies multiple times before fully grasping them. it's just difficult. |
| User ReviewSilvia HOne of my favourite movies from one of my favourite directors. It's very poetic and there is a beautiful final scene on the beach. So beautiful that the crowd applauded on the theatre! |
| User ReviewAbigail KAnother Godard-to-follow but extremely rewarding, occasionally disturbing French talkie, with many philosophical and humorous insights into What Cinema Is vs. What it Ought to Be. Best of all, Ashton Kutcher isn't in it! |
| User ReviewSyn Zif u like godard, you can see his movie..make me think life is ironic sometimes... |
