I think the big thing is, a lot of critics just flat-out don't understand Godard's work and they usually spend half the review writing a few of the technical processes behind the work, or the history of Godard, or talk about whatever Godard's got going on in his personal life.. rather than reflect on the film itself.

Atsonic, I fucken love you.
