Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Nouvelle Vague stylishly captures and celebrates a certain approach to making cinema – reactive, incautious, free-range – but leaves you wishing there was a little more of it in the film you just saw. Rated: 3/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Elle An elegant love letter to the influential era in French cinema. In stunning black and white, and with the grainy sound quality of the era, Linklater gives new life to period picture, making it romantic, exquisitely detailed, and timeless. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker It shouldn’t work, but really it does... A playful Who’s Who of late-fifties French film, a wittily engrossing and ultra-disciplined execution of a conceit that sounded self-indulgent on paper. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Courtney Small That Shelf Working best as an introduction to Godard for the uninitiated, Nouvelle Vague is an engaging tribute to a legendary film and filmmaker. Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Chris Bumbray JoBlo's Movie Network Richard Linklater pays an affectionate tribute to the French New Wave. Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! C'est magnifique.
