With its rich, layered storytelling, "Film Socialisme" is, in its broadest sense, about nothing less than the history, present and future of Western civilization, up to and including Internet videos of cats.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Overview
A symphony in three movements. Things such as a Mediterranean cruise, numerous conversations, in numerous languages, between the passengers, almost all of whom are on holiday... Our Europe. At night, a sister and her younger brother have summoned their parents to appear before the court of their childhood. The children demand serious explanations of the themes of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Our humanities. Visits to six sites of true or false myths: Egypt, Palestine, Odessa, Hellas, Naples and Barcelona.

This isn't exactly a popcorn movie. I'm not sure it's even a movie, as much as an edgy art installation.
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

It makes a mockery of the star-rating system. How to judge a film on those terms when there's nothing to judge it against?
David Jenkins, Time Out

This is Godard's most focused statement in years. Yet what he's saying is often leftist agitprop.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Those receptive to Godard's sense of humor will find "Film Socialisme" an elusive yet expansive provocation. Those less receptive will find it elusive, period.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
