Movie Reviews

Globe and Mail - 10/10 by Liam LaceyFor the most part, Varda's home movie is a simple and sweet thing.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittA fascinating nonfiction voyage into rural and urban France, focusing on idiosyncratic individuals who live off things the rest of us throw away, from food to furniture.
Dallas Morning News - 10/10 by Chris VognarThe Gleaners and I is a film well worth finding.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonOf all the movies I've seen in the past several years, this is one of the ones I love the most.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordA funny sequence gets as many interpretations of the law that governs the gleaning around oyster beds as people providing them.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 9/10 by James Sanfordstrings together observations about psychotherapy, freeway traffic and the origins of cinema while opening our eyes to a subculture few of us ever think about.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 8/10 by Peter RainerThere's a timelessness, an immanence to what she (Varda) shows us.
LarsenOnFilm - 8/10 by Josh Larsen...minor Varda, in a way, but it's also a moving summation of her life's work.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannVarda's subject matter is surprisingly rich, but it's her own energetic, curious nature that gives the film its snap.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThe Gleaners and I shows Varda in full flower, ever reaping what she has sown.
