Nouvelle Vague Reviews
Elle
Tomris Laffly
An elegant love letter to the influential era in French cinema. In stunning black and white, and with the grainy sound quality of the era, Linklater gives new life to period picture, making it romantic, exquisitely detailed, and timeless.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
It shouldn't work, but really it does... A playful Who's Who of late-fifties French film, a wittily engrossing and ultra-disciplined execution of a conceit that sounded self-indulgent on paper.
AwardsWatch
Erik Anderson
There's a breezy nature to Nouvelle Vague that, while it speaks directly to the Criterion Closet set, to an adventurous newcomer to the history of the French New Wave will be easily entertained and inspired by.
FirstShowing.net
Alex Billington
Linklater's Nouvelle Vague feels like an homage to Godard but also a reminder that you should not be worried about following rules and doing what is expected if you want to be a truly innovative filmmaker.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Hayley Croke
Nouvelle Vague serves as a love letter to the movement, the concept of artistic expression and above all else, the joy of filmmaking.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's more of a side dish or an appetizer than a full meal, even if it's a tasty one.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
If you're looking for anything new about New Wave Films, you'll be disappointed.
Cocalecas
Ruben Peralta Rigaud
Nouvelle Vague isn't perfect, nor does it want to be. But it is honest, playful, and respectful, and in that balance perhaps lies its greatest virtue. [Full review in Spanish]
The Playlist
Elena Lazic
...Linklater's vision of the New Wave scene is too simplistic and unconvincing to truly make a dent in this precious imaginary. It is also too niche and too broad to possibly make any impact.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
Nouvelle Vague never reaches those kinds of heights, though it's very good at depicting how, in the moment, making something revolutionary can be indistinguishable from just making a mess.
Screen Rant
Graeme Guttmann
Nouvelle Vague is both a classic Richard Linklater hangout movie and an ode to the French New Wave, simplistic in nature and charming nonetheless.

And while there are things to like and appreciate, Nouvelle Vague ultimately ends as trite
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Essentially, Linklater is applying his own hangout tableaux to the New Wave alumni. But it fails to capture the energy of what exactly made them such trailblazers.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
This is filmmaking as leap of faith: Nouvelle Vague may seem glowingly modest, but unlike Breathless, it couldn't be made on the cheap. At the same time, its layers of details are gorgeous and priceless.
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
The film is disappointingly pointless, the worst-case version of what I feared: a movie whose POV is basically "Breathless was cool."
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
At best, Nouvelle Vague is the kind of movie that emboldens people to make films themselves, and even more so, to adopt filmmaking as a way of life. A
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Linklater's film is less innovative than anything JLG made, but it offers a rare and informed inside look at a pivotal moment not only of the director's career, but of film history in general.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
A labor of love and a product of considerable craft, Richard Linklater's "Nouvelle Vague" is more than just a valentine to the French New Wave; the film is also a stealth showcase for a filmmaker rarely heralded for his technical sophistication.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
Hopefully, "Nouvelle Vague" encourages you to look back and watch "Breathless" again -- or for the first time -- but Linklater's movie may inadvertently suggest, "You could just watch this one instead."
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
It's a cinephile's film through and through -- a making-of that won't make much sense to anyone who hasn't seen the original movie. But it's also breezy and relatively entertaining, never taking itself too seriously.
