Pierrot le Fou Ratings & Reviews
(All (Parentheses)) (Substack)
Keith Uhlich
Represents a high watermark of the art film, and in no small measure due to its despair over the artist's ambivalent, uncertain role in an era of aesthetic, technological, and political turmoil. -Guest Post by Michael Joshua Rowin
Newsweek
Joe Morgenstern
"Pierrot" is less successfully artistically than several Godard films that followed it: Masculine Feminine, La Chinoise and Weekend. It's much more than historically interesting, though, this funny little fugue for soured sweethearts.
Seattle Film Blog
Kathy Fennessy
It's [Jean-Luc] Godard in a nutshell--all for the price of one ticket.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
a uniquely Godardian mess, which means that you can sense the order through the chaos, even if you can't always put your finger on what, exactly, Godard is after at any given moment
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
This is Godard in free-floating form.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
The film is beauty, whimsy, and magic all wrapped around a sour center.
Los Angeles Free Press
Gene Youngblood
It's a masterpiece, one of the monumental films of our time.
New York Times
Renata Adler
The film is poetic, quiet, introverted, personal.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Corey Hall
There's cool and then there's Jean-Paul Belmondo. No one ever made being bored look so exciting, and the effortlessly graceful and impossibly hip actor gave the mid-'60s nouvelle vague a needed macho punch.
PopMatters
Marco Lanzagorta
Few would deny that Pierrot Le Fou is [Godard's] most innovative, iconoclast, and subversive film to date.
TIME Magazine
The melodramatic sluice-of-life interludes are what ultimately swamp the film's modest blend of whimsy and melancholy.
IFC.com
Michael Atkinson
Of the Godardian '60s, this effervescent, self-mocking, effortlessly iconic masterpiece may be the filmmaker's quintessential work.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
As with many other Godard films, I didn't like Pierrot le Fou the first time I saw it, but it stuck with me, and months later, I couldn't wait to see it again. Now I believe it's a masterpiece.
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
Pierrot is a self conscious mash up of every movie genre that Godard loves, of every movie he has made, of all the artistic references (music, painting, literature) that have influenced or affected him
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
An idiosyncratic work by a filmmaker trotting out his obsessions of the moment and committing them to film without much regard for actual meaning.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
It's one of Pierrot's unique charms that Godard doesn't regard Ferdinand and Marianne's situation with emphatic mockery or inordinate reverence.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
So challenging and prolific has been Godard's 53-year career that virtually all of his films are as deserving of revival as Pierrot le Fou.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Made in 1965, this film, with its ravishing colors and beautiful 'Scope camerawork by Raoul Coutard, still looks as iconoclastic and fresh as it did when it belatedly opened in the U.S.
Variety
Variety Staff
The result is repetitive and precious rather than inventive and fresh.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I once wrote of it as "Godard's most virtuoso display of his mastery of Hollywood genres," I now see it more as the story of silly characters who have seen too many Hollywood movies.
