A Woman Is a Woman may not have the urgency or the contradictions that made early Godard an icon, but in its new incarnation, it takes us back to a time when he could still provide the makings of a good argument.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

The most playful film to come out of the French New Wave, it's also the last time Jean-Luc Godard appeared to have any fun.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Une Femme Est une Femme moves us now because it's so playful and the players are so young.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
A Woman Is a Woman is slight and sometimes wearisome.
