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.

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

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Masterly by any measure.

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.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
This witty and tender 1966 gem remains as timeless and fresh as ever.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

Speaks to the teenager in all of us.

Remains worth seeing as an achingly nostalgic farewell to youthful idealism, tinged with a kind of loving contempt.
Humanity is the language of Godard's film about french youth, and the humanity in it reminds us all of our younger selves.
