One of the quintessential '60s foreign art films, a bizarre melange of pop music, revolution, sex, movie allusions and poetry. It's a masterpiece of sorts by one of the most important European filmmakers of that era. But it's also a movie that can drive you crazy.

Masterly by any measure.

An excellent film, still as fresh as the day it was made.
90
This witty and tender 1966 gem remains as timeless and fresh as ever.
88
Remains worth seeing as an achingly nostalgic farewell to youthful idealism, tinged with a kind of loving contempt.
75
It's cumulatively entertaining, and a fascinating and nostalgic time capsule of its era. Watch for the cameo by Brigitte Bardot.

Godard works with a bright style and a sense of humor and his pictures leave a cumulative impression. (Review of Original Release)

Masculine Feminine is one of those films I'll never get, but still enjoy anyways. Because I'm expected to hear some great things about this film, I decided to see it and I was so confused and it was still great anyways.

My fourth Godard’s film (CONTEMPT 1963, 7/10; BREATHLESS 1960, 9/10; PIERROT LE FOU 1965, 7/10) so far, thus apparently I am not a newbie in Godard school, but to see the defiant Jean-Pierre Léaud (Francois Truffaut’s alter ego in THE 400 BLOWS 1959, 9/10) has grown into a handsome young man, a boy-becomes-man leap from Antoine Doinel to Paul, with sharp stare, worldly-wise sophistication (a wonderful whistler and vocalist too), in a Godard’s picture, which strikes as a sublime force of naturalistic liaison between La Nouvelle Vague auteurs. read rest of the review in my blog, google "cinema omnivore"
