The melodramatic sluice-of-life interludes are what ultimately swamp the film's modest blend of whimsy and melancholy.
David Jenkins
A wild-eyed, everything-in-the-pot cross-processing of artistic, cinematic, political and personal concerns, where the story stutters, splinters and infuriates its way to an explosive finale.
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.
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 Staff
The result is repetitive and precious rather than inventive and fresh.
Melissa Anderson
Unmissable.

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.
