Movie Reviews

Little White Lies - 10/10 by Sophie Monks KaufmanFaces Places is a subtly self-reflexive documentary that swims against this tide, inviting audiences to see that filmmaking is a process of having conversations with people, and enveloping each individual and their private creativity within the wider collaborative process. Art is a form of social work or, rather, it can be with the right people at the helm.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Ann HornadayFaces Places is a film of sheer joy, its exuberance surpassed only by its tenderness and purity of purpose.
Austin Chronicle - 10/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThe film is an intensely personal record, yet also a universal contemplation. Faces Places leaves the viewer with a sense of the glories of images and communication – sometimes random, sometimes specific, always continual and cumulative.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversSheer perfection – that's the phrase that springs to mind when describing the humanist miracle that is Faces Places, the year's best and most beguiling documentary.
The New York Times - 10/10 by A.O. ScottFaces Places reveals itself as a powerful, complex and radical work.
Screen International - 10/10 by Allan HunterInvested with a real sense of joy, Faces Places is also something of a lament for a fast disappearing France.
The Guardian - 10/10 by Jordan HoffmanIf there’s a message in Visages, Villages (both to us, and from Varda to her young friend) is that one does not need to be a tortured and nasty person to make great art. She is living and still-working proof.
Indiewire - 10/10 by David EhrlichWhile all of the people they meet are delightful characters who the film manages to milk for every ounce of their personality, Varda and JR inevitably emerge as the real stars here.
TheWrap - 10/10 by Dave WhiteA wonderfully humane, funny, and moving chapter in Varda’s documentary phase.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Ty BurrThe documentary is an absolute delight, but it has a faith in everyday folks that feels both stalwart and melancholy, aware that these are exactly the people being swept away by the tides of modernity. It’s a sociopolitical cri de coeur disguised as a vacation.
