Celine and Julie Go Boating Reviews
Celine and Julie Go Boating casts several interweaving spells.
| Mar 9, 2023
A super collaboration where no idea is discarded and lets the imagination run wild.
| Mar 6, 2023
An elaborately cumbersome and self-indulgent exercise in highbrow fooling.
| Mar 2, 2023
A cauldron of magic, symbol, humor, dreams, and skits, that is ultimately defeated by its inordinate length.
| Mar 2, 2023
It could stand further trimming, but it is rich, deftly textured and uncannily good.
| Mar 2, 2023
This is compelling stuff.
| Mar 2, 2023
Even is the film's charm is a bit narcissistic, it is undeniable. And the girls themselves are delightful.
| Mar 2, 2023
Just as the line demarcating reality (which here is always slightly askew) from fantasy is dissolved, so, too, do identities become porous.
| Mar 2, 2023
Exotic fare not aimed at the average moviegoer.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 2, 2023
The fantasy becomes an extended conceit, so streaming with red herrings and irrelevancies, that it breaks the poetic magic circle that others have claims it forms.
| Mar 2, 2023
The rewards for one's patience with this film are very small.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 2, 2023
The film has strong moments, but it's stretched too thin, and would have been far more effective if it were half as long.
| Mar 2, 2023
Celine and Julie are not people but only actresses improvising, and the film is no more than an inconsequential investigation of its own nature.
| Mar 2, 2023
Two delightful performances by Juliet Berto and Dominique Labourier, tongue in cheek humor, and inventiveness give special charm to Jacques Rivette's phantasmagorical tale.
| Mar 2, 2023
Céline and Julie Go Boating is a do it yourself guide to rediscovering the delights of the street outside, and of the idiots all around you.
| Mar 2, 2023
A deeply whimsical tribute to the pleasures and powers of child-like imagination, Celine and Julie becomes a playful inquiry into filmwatching, with our heroines endlessly conjuring up and heading off into unexpected fictions.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 2, 2023
Three hours is more exhausting than illusionary for my taste.
| Mar 2, 2023
In terms of cinema, it is a brilliant exercise in mise-en-scène.
| Mar 2, 2023
The film's last 10 minutes constitute a stunning coup de theater, but the three hours it takes to get there, while intriguing, are awfully touch going.
