Nicola B Visually beautiful but the soundtrack was repetitive and Bardot was as utterly unsympathetic as a petulant child. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review elana k This is a hard no for me. I say this not with contempt but with frustration and boredom. That song felt transcendent and in the first few seconds I felt like I was in for something big: thinking that Godard may have some lofty views when it comes to the art of cinema. But that's not true- he's doing this for himself and material like this doesn't age well. Et mon Visage? Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Yellowfur D Ordinary apartments are photographed to create a complex sense of space. The layout and echo of red, yellow and blue are used throughout the film. The character positions and camera movements may seem random but are exquisitely arranged, the product of the superposition of money, time and talent. The plot also has its own ingenuity and hints. Whether it is love or the situation of the movie, they are all buried in the "great" blue. But I really hate using female nudity as a gimmick to sell movies. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Jim E This was very interesting to watch the 1963 thinking about male oppressive movies, and the two gorgeous females dealing with the situation of the times! Bardot is stunningly attractive in her role with a forceful attitude and gorgeous curves! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Joo P Good film, but dated. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Thomas V Visually interesting and Bardot is great set decoration, but this is thoroughly unlikeable. Palance is miscast, the writer and his hot but irritating wife are repulsive, and there's no one here to care about. I feel like Antonioni treated this kind of material in a much more compelling and interesting way. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
