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 Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras Cinephiles will rejoice with this charming and nostalgic tribute to Godard and the French New Wave. Linklater manages to capture the chaotic and vivid spirit of this revolutionary movement with passion and sincerity. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movie Marker A truly great movie would have offered something new instead of just a memory of something great made before. That said, Nouvelle Vague is an expertly made joy, and those who like this sort of thing will like it very much indeed. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Erik Anderson AwardsWatch There’s a breezy nature to Nouvelle Vague that, while it speaks directly to the Criterion Closet set, to an adventurous newcomer to the history of the French New Wave will be easily entertained and inspired by. Rated: A- May 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
