Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader This isn't one of Godard's best features, though it certainly has its moments. Apr 17, 2007 Full Review Amy Taubin Village Voice One of those failures by great artists that are more provocative to think about than to experience. Apr 17, 2007 Full Review A.O. Scott New York Times Offers pleasure as well as frustration and engages even as it baffles. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 17, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews One of Godard's muddled failures. Rated: C- Nov 28, 2008 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat One word: merde. Rated: 0/4 Jul 22, 2002 Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit Anyone wishing to acquire the taste of Godard should start somewhere else Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 13, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member good pic has an almost doc like quality Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member un godard comme on les aime Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It was highly abstract thematic sketches mostly dealing with characters struggling to understand their "Place On Earth" revolving around Godard's narrations (mostly musings on Life and Death), akin to [i]2 Or 3 Things I Know About Her[/i], though somewhat less organized. Jean-Luc himself plays a pretty funny character, and the film certainly has its moments, but largely of this particular variation of Godard cinema (the sketch/essay type film), [i]2 or 3 Things[/i] is much stronger in terms of subject matter and execution. [i]Keep Your Right Up[/i] is an interesting film, but I wouldn't call it one of his essentials. Not exactly a recommendation, I know, but I hope it provides some insight. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This film tries to express artists' general distaste for their work and death all at the same time. It feels horrible which I guess means he succeeded. Compares his work to a crappy French 80's indie band and says that for anything to come from nothingness was a miracle. This movie doesn't feel like a miracle. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Drole et profond. Irresistible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review jack c wish it had more of that awesomely 80s French rock group and less usual didactic Godardian poetry. Some of the narrative bits work, some just flat out dont. It's not a miasma like King Lear though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
