On its fiftieth birthday Breathless remains fresh and exciting, although its revolutionary approach has long since been absorbed into the mainstream, and the years do show on it a bit.

Even 50 years later, it's easy feel how vivid a game-changer Breathless must have been when it arrived.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

This movie liberated the cinema -- the stories you could tell and the ways you could tell them -- as clearly and cleanly as Picasso freed painting and the Sex Pistols rebooted rock.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Breathless has the proportions wrong. Too much rambling, too little point.
