Entertainment Reviews:
...Stuffed with literary, musical and cinematic references, elegantly photographed and sharply edited...
Variety
Rating: 1/4 --
The fact that he creates such a haphazard structure for them, and neglects to develop his character or devise much of a plot, suggests that Godard is more interested in talking to himself than to his audience.

San Francisco Chronicle
Rating: 4/5 --
This feature from veteran iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard is as dense and complex as the rest of his later films, but it's more focused, perhaps due to its subject matter.

Boxoffice Magazine
...FOR EVER MOZART is chock-full of chewy mouthfuls of cinematic theory....Full of deep musings, potent symbols and academic references....An austere, lyrical essay...
New York Times
...Visually, FOR EVER MOZART is typically ravishing, and it has Godard's usual barrage of aphorisms, declarations and pronouncements as well as inspired use of music...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2.5/5 --
For Ever Mozart's wryly postmodern take on art vs. reality struck even some longtime Godard defenders as unconscionable at worst, tedious at best.

The Dissolve
...It has weirdly compelling moments...
Film Comment
Product Description:
Acclaimed French director Jean-Luc Godard continues to develop his strikingly original cinematic language with FOR EVER MOZART. The film is more an abstract collection of scenes that merge on an extremely loose level than it is a typical narrative (for followers of Godard, this should come as no surprise). The story concerns an aging movie director who attempts to film a new production of a Musset play in besieged Sarajevo. Along the way, various strange things happen to him and his stars, including landing in an apocalyptic rural landscape (ala the director's 1967 masterwork WEEKEND). As usual, Godard peppers his film with cultural references--literate and historical--including nods to William Shakespeare, Albert Camus, and John Ford. Adding even more spark to the proceedings is Godard's now-trademark use of fractured editing, as well as his blunt musical transitions (featuring the works of David Darling, Ketil Bjornstad, Jon Christensen, Ben Harper, and Gyorgi Kurtag). Proving that his distinct vision only continues to grow as he edges toward his fortieth year as a film director, Godard's FOR EVER MOZART is another challenging, intellectual cinematic discourse from one of the French New Wave's most notable luminaries.
