4/5
"Even if some of Breathless remains inaccessibly arty and obtuse, it's nonetheless a film of watershed importance."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"We can't really look at Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless with fresh eyes, any more than we can see Citizen Kane or Sunrise for the first time."  Slant Magazine  Dan Callahan

B+
"It's energy over substance."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"A half-century has softened the impact, but 'Breathless' still holds its own."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

4/4

3.5/5
"It works great on a theoretical level, but it doesn't really make for an exciting or all that interesting viewing experience."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
