4/4
Beauty in this movie is squeezed out of modern life until it fills the cracks between the characters' feelings. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 04/14/2016
A thoughtful, probing exercise in erotic stagnation - no less engaging for lacking pulpiness. Go to Full Review
Calum Marsh Village Voice 12/01/2015
An extraordinarily rich and provocative picture in its own right. Go to Full Review
Jeremy Carr Vague Visages 11/15/2023
So what does A Married Woman all add up to? For one thing, perhaps a sign of what was to come in Godard’s ever-evolving methodology... Go to Full Review

3.5/5
A Married Woman reveals itself to be a rather terse but effective study on consumerism and gendered commodification. Go to Full Review

cem y 12/03/2022 I found it a bit unnecessarily abstract and the actors a bit dull. Shots were interesting and they might be worth deconstructing See more 07/09/2020 A Married Woman is an adulterous woman. There are lots of lovely shots of Charlotte's skin and lovers subtly stroking each other in soft black and white cinematography . For a woman who is getting laid a lot between her husband and her lover, she's a pretty lousy kisser - kisses that barely escape being air kisses. She spends a huge amount of time looking at bra advertisements while eavesdropping on two girls talking about one of them about to lose her virginity. You never see them, but she spends a lot of time thinking about and measuring her breasts in quest of the perfect pair. There's typically abstruse French discussions on memory, the present, intelligence, the theatre and the like. It's all quite profound unless it isn't. Johnny C sez it's worth a look. See more 07/15/2016 Godard's examination of a woman and her two loves; fragmented and talky. See more 12/06/2015 One of Godard's most intimate films. A Married Woman captures a sensuous mystique through its alluring close up shots, and entrancing dialogue, that actually make the film feel a bit Bergman-esque. While the narrative itself is almost formless, the avant-garde structure, timeless themes, and sublime sense of humor make the film ably relevant for any generation. See more 02/22/2015 Beautiful. Thought-provoking. See more 08/22/2014 This quasi-feminist film is easily forgettable. See more Read all reviews
