100Though it's a sad, somber, deeply questioning work, it's done with a light, loving spirit.
-
100Visually sublime and intellectually dense, this is one of the extremely rare movies that prove cinema can be as complex and profound as the very greatest art works in any form.
-
90Notre Musique is really a poetic essay, masterfully intermixing the director's mournful-toned, philosophical narration with documentary and staged moments.
-
88Elegant, insistent movie -- a great gray filmmaker's finest in years.
-
83Notre Musique is Godard's post-9/11 statement, a meditation on how war emerges from the eternal, and hypocritical, duality of human perception -- the sense that it's always ''the other'' who dies.
-
83If film is an art, it's because it's possible for somebody to make films like this.
-
80Strikes me as one of Godard's most accessible works - one in which the graying, stubbly maestro, who turns 74 today, presents himself and his ideas to the audience in a less combative way than he sometimes has in the past.
-
80Too touchy-feely for some hardcore Godardians, Notre Musique is the most lucid of the master's recent films.
-
80A film of flowing, redemptive beauty and poetry, at once immediate yet classic in its simplicity of form.
-
80Mr. Godard treads on dangerous ground by linking the historical suffering of Jews and the Palestinians, but his sympathy for both people is so manifest, his sense of history so deep, that the film defies reductive readings.
-
80Recognizably Godard with its playfulness and wordplays, but deeply human at the same time.
-
A film about war and reconciliation, is deeply Christian, a study in humility and the moral uncertainty at the core of the Christian message.
-
80For one of the first times in his career Jean-Luc Godard has elected not to hector and harass his audience, and it seems to have paid off.
-
75It's a long way from the carefree days of "Breathless" and "Band of Outsiders," but then the world has changed since Godard made those movies 40 years ago.
-
75Like a piece of music, Godard structures his film in three movements.
-
70Alternately accessible and obscure, the film is almost too rich to digest at one sitting, but even if experiencing this remarkable films means latching onto just a few of its myriad ideas, it's still a richly rewarding encounter.
-
50Notre Musique is a cry against war and man's inherent needs for tribalism and violence, a position that wouldn't start a good argument in a college cafeteria.
-
50Lumpy.
-
50A sophomore film major would be lucky to get a passing grade with such material.
