In Praise of Love Reviews
Miami Herald
Marta Barber
The best indication of the film's pretentiousness comes from recurrent images of a book with blank pages, as if to point out that Godard has nothing to say, but so what? Let's throw in a few images and people will come anyway.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Godard ceased being a voice in the wilderness and became a voice in the wind, howling against demons that refused even to acknowledge his protests.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
In Praise of Love sifts the rubble of emotions whose fires have long been banked.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
Memorable images and dialogue worm their way into your psyche and won't let go.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The trick when watching Godard is to catch the pitch of his poetics, savor the pleasure of his sounds and images, and ponder the historical, philosophical, and ethical issues that intersect with them.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
The movie's ripe, enrapturing beauty will tempt those willing to probe its inscrutable mysteries.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
At once dreamy and acrid, startlingly beautiful and numbingly polemical.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Shows that Godard is alive and well -- a filmmaker who continues to probe issues and stories that deserve our attention.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
For all its bile and incoherence, In Praise of Love is filled with haunting images and insights. Godard may be a lion in winter, but the lion still roars.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Feels like the work of an artist who is simply tired -- of fighting the same fights, of putting the weight of the world on his shoulders, of playing with narrative form.
Seattle Times
Misha Berson
In Praise of Love can bore you to tears at times -- yet leave you in awe.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
This is a visually stunning rumination on love, memory, history and the war between art and commerce.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What strange confusion besets Jean-Luc Godard? He stumbles through the wreckage of this film like a baffled Lear, seeking to exercise power that is no longer his.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The 70-year-old Godard has become, to judge from In Praise of Love, the sort of bitter old crank who sits behind his light meter and harangues the supposed injustices of the artistic world-at-large without doing all that much to correct them.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
Éloge de l'Amour has the internal intricacy, precision, and above all, the tenderness of a late Beethoven chamber work.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Godard has created such a hermetic, uncompromising world that only the hardiest cinematic spelunkers are likely to appreciate its depths.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It's the intellectual ride of your life, as far as moviegoing goes.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
In terms of contribution to cinematic art, [Godard's] new film adds very little to what he has already given us.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Godard uses his characters -- if that's not too glorified a term -- as art things, mouthpieces, visual motifs, blanks.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Like the best of Godard's movies ... it is visually ravishing, penetrating, impenetrable.
