David Fear Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Fernando F. Croce Slant Magazine Godard's films are records (documentaries, even) of personal interests, ecstasies, and agonies at a particular time in the artist's life. Rated: 4/4 Jul 21, 2009 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Gorgeous, minor, and pivotal. Rated: 3/4 Feb 19, 2009 Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com Godard plays around with left and right repeatedly throughout the film, challenging his audience to see outside the binary. Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Fernando Trueba El Pais (Spain) 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.

Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It's an absurdist comedy/neo-noir from Godard with long monologues about communism. It's like the perfect movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
