- 90Screen DailyJonathan RomneyScreen DailyJonathan RomneyIt’s a dazzlingly executed, hugely enjoyable act of stylistic homage, but also the poignant story of a dysfunctional marriage and an insightful recreation of a critical and contradiction-ridden period of modern French history.
- 83IndieWireEric KohnIndieWireEric KohnLight and inoffensive, it trades the intellectual rigor of Godard’s work for fluffy sentiments, but never gets crass. Above all else, it succeeds at transforming cinephile trivia into a genuine crowdpleaser.
- 75The Film StageRory O'ConnorThe Film StageRory O'ConnorIt’s more Pastiche du Godard than Histoire(s) du Godard in Michel Hazanavicius’ Redoubtable and that’s not a bad thing.
- 70VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanA lightly audacious and fascinating movie (if not exactly one to warm your heart).
- 67The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicThe PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicIt’s all fun and games and one big, great joke as we watch the cantankerous Jean-Luc dismiss his admirers and spit on contemporary cinema, but it’s hard to praise Redoubtable as a great film once its final act comes around
- 60CineVueJohn BleasdaleCineVueJohn BleasdaleGarrel and Miller manage to create a credible chemistry.
- 60The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawMichel Hazanavicius’s Redoubtable is a reasonably funny, moderately interesting movie, wearing its sprightly colourful pastiche like dry-cleaned retro couture.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyAlthough the film manages some disarming insights into the man’s complex makeup and difficult behavior, a service enhanced by Louis Garrel’s very good lead performance, serious cinephiles will likely reject it as glib and disrespectful, while more mainstream viewers could be amused but not that interested.
- 50The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThough adapted from her memoirs, Godard Mon Amour dubiously minimizes her character. The most it offers is a depiction of a deteriorating marriage between a beautiful woman and an asshole who’s in the middle of a crisis of artistic conscience. And Godard already made one of those. It’s called "Contempt."
