Masculin féminin, explores what it meant to be young in modern France. We see the world of "the children of Marx and Coca-Cola," following their politics, their passions, and their romantic sexcapades.

Avery Herman

Humanity is the language of Godard's film about french youth, and the humanity in it reminds us all of our younger selves.

Film Threat

Masculine, Feminine could be viewed as Godard's reaction to his own success and the state of the world around him.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

Masterly by any measure.

Village Voice by 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.

The New York Times by A.O. Scott

This document of youthful confusion has not aged one minute. If anything, its detached, discursive and sympathetic observation of the earnest foolishness of post-baccalaureate, pre-1968 Parisians is more acute, and more prophetic, than ever.

Salon by Stephanie Zacharek

Speaks to the teenager in all of us.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

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

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

This document of youthful confusion has not aged one minute. If anything, its detached, discursive and sympathetic observation of the earnest foolishness of post-baccalaureate, pre-1968 Parisians is more acute, and more prophetic, than ever.

Chicago Reader by Dave Kehr

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

88

Boston Globe by Ty Burr

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