Trade Review"[Morgan navigates] provocative claims ... with a rigorous logic that his lucid prose is able to explicate on both micro and macro levels." -- Clayton Dillard Slant Magazine "Valuable... An enormous boon for thinking about Godard's late work and an enjoyable read beyond that... Highly Recommended." -- R. P. Kinsman Choice "An essential tool for understanding Godard, and the essential resource on Godard's later years." -- James Harvey-Davitt Film-Philosophy "Compelling arguments [that] Morgan approaches with care and subtlety." -- Richard Rushton The Years Work in Critical and Cultural Theory
