Goodbye to Language Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
I'm attaching four stars more out of helplessness than critical acumen, by the way; if the film is beyond language, it's certainly beyond a traditional rating system.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Throughout this enigmatic film's short running time, I couldn't for the life of me make out what Godard was trying to say.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Shooting on various low- and medium-grade digital cameras, Godard turns "Goodbye to Language" into a rumination on memory, communication, everyday life and sexual tension.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Jean-Luc Godard is the acknowledged mascot, if not master, of intellectual cinema. In "Goodbye to Language 3D" the 84-year-old auteur... reprises his longstanding suspicion that words are worthless.
San Francisco Chronicle
Thomas Lee
"Goodbye to Language" seems like an appropriate title if it's meant to suggest that logic and sanity have completely disappeared from this world.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
3-D is the ideal toy for an old enfant terrible like Godard to play with. Packed with dazzling images, the film makes 3-D feel like something brand-new to the medium.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Watching it is, I would imagine, as close as we'll get to being able to be Godard, sitting there thinking, or dreaming. It's a documentary of a restless mind.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Lots of luck figuring any of this out before dozing off.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
If this kind of synaptic brainstorm sounds like an invigorating cinematic experience, I'm here to tell you that watching Goodbye to Language on a big screen will be 70 minutes well spent.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
A film that's stuffed with language, its title notwithstanding.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Anyone interested in the possibilities of the moviegoing experience - what can happen in a dark theater - owes it to themselves to say hello to "Goodbye to Language."
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
At 84, Godard is still looking for new ways to express himself, though he thinks it harder than ever to achieve meaningful interpersonal communication in the information age.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
The sheer assaultive power of Goodbye to Language makes it Godard's most vibrant and exciting film for some time and, you might say, his most terroristic.
Linoleum Knife
Alonso Duralde
It's like someone gave Godard a list of everything you're not supposed to do in a 3D movie, and he did every one of them. Which is why he's a genius.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
A film you need to see again should be a film you want to see again, and the oblique beauty of Goodbye to Language, shot in 3-D, has a tractor-beam-like pull.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Godard can't stop himself from exploring new ways to make pictures. He seems to enjoy doing so almost as much as he enjoys frustrating the expectations of those who still want a movie to have a beginning, a middle and an end, in that order.
Slate
Daniel Engber
For better or for worse, Godard has traded roller coaster thrills for a carnival of gimmicks.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
The experience of being eluded by Jean-Luc Godard has its consolations, foremost among them the 83-year-old director's prerogative to elude.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It joins the very short list of intriguing experiments in 21st-century 3-D, which otherwise comprises Werner Herzog's "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" and Wim Wenders' "Pina."
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
At 83, Godard continues to push boundaries, even if his latest movie may baffle all but the most devoted film theorists.
