An excellent film, still as fresh as the day it was made. Read full review

J. Hoberman

Directed by anyone else, Masculine Feminine--one of three movies that Godard made in his peak year, 1966--would be a masterpiece. For the young JLG it's business as usual. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

Speaks to the teenager in all of us. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

This witty and tender 1966 gem remains as timeless and fresh as ever. Read full review

Ty Burr

Remains worth seeing as an achingly nostalgic farewell to youthful idealism, tinged with a kind of loving contempt. Read full review

William Arnold

It's cumulatively entertaining, and a fascinating and nostalgic time capsule of its era. Watch for the cameo by Brigitte Bardot. Read full review

Masculine Feminine is one of those films I'll never get, but still enjoy anyways. Because I'm expected to hear some great things about this film, I decided to see it and I was so confused and it was still great anyways.

My fourth Godard’s film (CONTEMPT 1963, 7/10; BREATHLESS 1960, 9/10; PIERROT LE FOU 1965, 7/10) so far, thus apparently I am not a newbie in Godard school, but to see the defiant Jean-Pierre Léaud (Francois Truffaut’s alter ego in THE 400 BLOWS 1959, 9/10) has grown into a handsome youngMy fourth Godard’s film (CONTEMPT 1963, 7/10; BREATHLESS 1960, 9/10; PIERROT LE FOU 1965, 7/10) so far, thus apparently I am not a newbie in Godard school, but to see the defiant Jean-Pierre Léaud (Francois Truffaut’s alter ego in THE 400 BLOWS 1959, 9/10) has grown into a handsome young man, a boy-becomes-man leap from Antoine Doinel to Paul, with sharp stare, worldly-wise sophistication (a wonderful whistler and vocalist too), in a Godard’s picture, which strikes as a sublime force of naturalistic liaison between La Nouvelle Vague auteurs.

Ugghh! I tried to appreciate it's unique context, blah, blah, blah...in the end I would have sacrificed my own family to stop watching the movie. The tedium was endless.
