At times slow moving, it's a poignant window into a filmmaker's method and inspiration. Agns Varda is well loved, for good reason.

Beautiful and charming. A beloved artist with decades of consistently excellent work behind her says goodbye in her own very special way. It doesn't get better than this.

"Varda by Agnès" provides an essential look inside the creative mind. It's not often that filmmakers reveal themselves so openly while looking back over their careers, and it's a treat when they do.

David Fear

Rolling Stone

It's a self-portrait, a film history lesson, a remembrance of things past, a perfect coda to her career, a moving scrapbook and a masterclass that now doubles as a memento mori.

Rated: 4.5/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This is a wonderful movie -- one of my favorites of the year... Even if you haven't seen any of her movies, it's like meeting an old friend.

Puesta en Escena (AR)

Varda shares with us her reflections, her conception of art and even the structure itself of each of her works with honesty about the creative process. Through his works she expresses like the difficulty of illustrating time and the idea of happiness

Rated: 9/10
