The Carabineers Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Penelope Gilliatt
This startling, craggy picture is haggard with intellect, but the brains and concern are disclaimed. Les Carabiniers wears an off-focus callousness that is peculiar to Godard.
Los Angeles Free Press
Gene Youngblood
I'm not being emotional or irresponsible when I say that Les Carabiniers is a masterpiece.
Artforum
Manny Farber
Les Carabiniers has a surprisingly wet, fluid mossiness: its people seem beautifully wan, primeval, murky, little woodchucks camouflaged by nature.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Godard leaves us to wonder about our own gullibility, our own unquestioning patriotism and loyalty, our own capacity for violence in the name of political figures with whom we might imagine we share some kind of cosmic relationship.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Jean-Luc Godard's conviction that action, and not idle thought, is the lifeblood of social progress is palpable.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Godard's astringent anti-war flipbook
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
Les Carabiniers refuses to make it easy on the audience, avoiding genre conventions at all costs, and daring us to consider that the real horror of war is the idea that anyone could find it rewarding, never mind exciting or adventurous.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The problem is not with Godard's politics, but with the purposeful ugliness of the film ... .
TV Guide
An ultraimpersonal exercise on the subject of war.
New York Times
Howard Thompson
This offhand exercise, made back in 1962 by one of the kings of the then New Wave, popped up early last night at the festival, for absolutely no discernible reason.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Godard has chosen a subject on which to exercise his style. The result is one of his most successful films, and, incidentally, one easier to understand and enjoy than his later work.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Jean-Luc Godard set out in 1963 to deliberately make a war film that would be neither dramatically involving nor formally compelling -- and he succeeded so brilliantly that the film was seen as a disaster.
