Metroactive (Richard von Busack)
Hartford Courant (--)
New York Times (Manohla Dargis)
Structured like the Divine Comedy , Jean-Luc Godard's new film is a journey through hell and purgatory in search of a paradise. ...read the complete Notre Musique movie review at New York Times (Manohla Dargis)
Empire Magazine (David Parkinson)
The 73 year-old enfant terrible can still take society to task for failing to recognise that it's our dualities that enrich life rather than any fanciful notions of global unity. ...read the complete Notre Musique movie review at Empire Magazine (David Parkinson)

About.com: World/Independent Film
Jean-Luc Godard, pioneer of the New Wave, has always delighted in breaking rules.

San Francisco Chronicle (Ruthe Stein)
A lumpy mix of real-life and fictional events that shows age hasn't diminished the famed filmmaker's zeal to experiment. ...read the complete Notre Musique movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Ruthe Stein)
The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
But in general, it is TOO obscure to be anything less than a lot of work for a person to sit through. Slogging through the references, philosophies and questions that comprise the film may be possible, but to what end? Even once you've sorted through ...read the complete Notre Musique movie review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Godard attempts to paint modern Europe as Dante's various circles of Hell -- but one fears he has lost 90 percent of the audience in the first 10 minutes ...read the complete Notre Musique movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
