3/4
"A fine film about the pressures of filmmaking. And it's an even finer film about the tragedy of marital dissolution."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  David N. Butterworth

A
"It's talky and filled with broken rhythms and a running stream of thoughts, and is boldly told in exaggerated stylized terms."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

A
"Fritz Lang famously quips that Cinemascope, in which the film is shot, is only good for capturing snakes and funerals, and so we get a film full of slimy, serpentine characters and a memorial service for the cinema."  Cinepinion  Henry Stewart

3.5/4
"While Contempt is seen by many as Godard’s most "commercial" or "mainstream" film, it is also one of his most emotionally stirring and deeply felt."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

5/5
"Screw Adaptation and its lack of temerity. Contempt is a meta-movie that places the onus back on the viewer. How are we to sensibly respond, and is there any sense in that at all?"  ToxicUniverse.com  Jeremiah Kipp

3.5/5
"One of my favorite Godard films."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
