Reaction: This was always going to be a risky bet at the box office, but the film didn't lose very much money for the studio, so we're not too bothered by the results.
"Despite the fairly modest budget of the film, it feels epic in scale thanks to a strong adaptation from Mo Buck and classic direction from the great Jean-Luc Goddard." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"The performances aren't uniformly great, but it's pretty close, with actors like Huppert and Pattinson completely disappearing into their roles." - Ben Bernard, New York Times
"The film feels a bit dated, which, let's face it, is not surprising given the age of the director. Some will have trouble with the film's deliberate pace, and I don't necessarily blame them, but Godard and Buck treat the film almost like a classical portrait. Sure, it feels old and slow, but there is some strong artistic work to be seen." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times
