Varda could have stopped after "Cleo From 5 to 7" with the assurance that she'd contributed more to cinema than most directors. Full Review |

Varda transforms the typical French cinema gamine into a complex, tragic figure: the girl who's all too good at playing plaything, forced to face the hollowness of her youth. Full Review |

4/4 |
Varda uses her documentary skills to take an objective approach to the material, rather than a sentimental one. It's amazing how much can happen in two hours. Full Review |

Why Agnes Varda's Cleo From 5 to 7 is not considered a classic of the French New Wave on the order of Truffaut's The 400 Blows or Godard's Breathless is a complete mystery. Well, I tell a lie. Full Review |

Told in real time, Agnès Varda's film has tons of heart and brains to match. Full Review |
