Drifting With Varda - The Beaches of Agnes review by griggs
I wanted Agnès Varda to be exactly who I imagined, and she was — curious, sharp, completely her own thing. That part's a gift.
The structure, though, tested me. She drifts between decades with a looseness that mirrors how memory works, and I get the intent, but knowing it's deliberate doesn't stop it feeling disjointed in the moment.
Varda herself is what holds it all together. Honestly, she's more than enough.
