Varda, free from fear and shame, turns her tale of a life lived in art into a work of art in its own right, and one of her best-a rapturous tribute to life itself.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Overview
The non-fiction author Walter falls for the physics student Agnes. He is fascinated by her extreme attitude towards life and her reserved appearance, which is quite the opposite of his quiet and regular life. When Agnes encourages him to follow his passion for writing fiction, he starts to work on a book, a portrait of how he sees her.

As evidenced in The Beaches of Agnes, Varda is too venerable to be hip -- and too wholly alive to be venerated.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The Beaches of Agnes is a work of delightful contradictions from a filmmaker who has always played by her own rules.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
A puckish, moving and wonderfully eccentric tour through her life.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
