4/4
Godard's films are records (documentaries, even) of personal interests, ecstasies, and agonies at a particular time in the artist's life. Go to Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe 02/19/2009

Gorgeous, minor, and pivotal. Go to Full Review Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times 01/16/2009

In terms of Godard's body of work, the 1966 film is as challenging as it is important. Go to Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com 04/10/2020
Godard plays around with left and right repeatedly throughout the film, challenging his audience to see outside the binary. Go to Full Review Fernando Trueba El Pais (Spain) 07/31/2019
The worst thing about Made in U.S.A is not the irregularities and inconsistencies -- present and perfectly integrated in Godard's work -- but the absolute lack of passion with which it was made. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 03/10/2013

12/17/2016 Admittedly not Godard's finest film, but this fractured romp (yes, romp) looks gorgeous and the story just about makes sense as it sashays from one peculiar set-piece to another. Worth watching for Marianne Faithfull's well-positioned cameo if nothing else. See more 10/24/2016 It's an absurdist comedy/neo-noir from Godard with long monologues about communism. It's like the perfect movie. See more 10/10/2016 This is probably Jean-Luc Godard's worst film. Its a bare story/plot enough as it is, but it feels like a half baked concept that doesn't even try to be comprehensible or exciting in any way. Its basically a nonsense film, and I award it the lowest score. I shouldn't have taken the chance with this film. See more 02/15/2016 Didn't fully enjoyed this Godard film, which was his tribute to film-noir, but in brash colours. Loosely based on a novel by a known noir author, Godard made this film his own with some political intrigue and tons of references to film and literature. Any classic film fan with notice many with names paying to tribute to old movies, stars and directors that Godard admired. This film also features his muse and wife Anna Karina. Worth a watch, but not a high recommendation. See more 02/02/2016 This will be the last rating and review I post on here, if you want to keep up with my reviews you can follow me on Letterboxd ( http://letterboxd.com/irontap/ ) Goodbye Rotten Tomatoes. See more 01/15/2016 Jean Luc-Godard's inventive film is both a playful homage towards film noir, and layered allegory concerning the cold war. Often fun and certainly original, but the social commentary can be a little heavy-handed. See more Read all reviews
