Faces Places Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
There's a chemistry and respect between the two of them, palpable in the film's first moments, that is inspiring. And when the credits roll 89 minutes later, you realize that this is one journey where you never once crankily asked, "Are we there yet?"
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Anyone who can't enjoy this wise and soulful film has to consider whether they've given up on the movies, and on life.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
The pair makes an oddly compelling Harold and Maude coupling, touring the countryside in a minibus-cum-box camera and honoring the locals by turning the facades of buildings into ephemeral open-air portrait galleries.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
This movie, a diary of a freewheeling, far-flung installation art project, combines chance and intuition and a humane eye.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Faces Places" is a lively, fun, stirring tribute to art and its ability to touch people and bring souls together.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Faces Places" is a film of sheer joy, its exuberance surpassed only by its tenderness and purity of purpose.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
As JR explains, the project is about him and Varda expressing their imaginations on people's terrain, and they do it graciously and with good cheer.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
There's never been a film quite like this one.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This delightful, digressive, breezy collaboration, staged to look more spontaneous than it possibly could be, celebrates and enhances both artists, repeatedly finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Leonard Maltin
I don't need a thesaurus to describe my reaction to Faces Places. I can sum it up in two words: pure pleasure.
The Atlantic
David Sims
... a testament to Varda's own talent and a truly special piece of filmmaking.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
"Faces Places" turns out to be a road movie in more than a merely literal sense. It is at once a roving journey into environments we rarely see in cinema and an incomplete but invaluable map of Varda's memories.
Film Journal International
Tomris Laffly
Through art, Agnès Varda and JR commemorate the stories of ordinary individuals and joyfully celebrate the communities they form.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
As they make their way, sometimes merry, sometimes melancholy, a double-portrait of the artists forms. It's very moving.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The film is a simple endeavor yet a monumental undertaking, a casual riff on some of the faces and places encountered by the artists and a thoughtful meditation on the past and the future of people and their French homeland.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Unfolding as a series of thrift-shop-find vignettes, Faces Places has oodles of charm and moments of beauty, but lacks the essayistic point-of-view of Varda's best documentaries.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Sheer perfection. French New Wave veteran Agnes Varda and the young photographer JR leap fearlessly into the art of making art in the year's best and most beguiling doc.
TheWrap
Dave White
Though her stated point is "to bring ideas to new people and exchange them," it becomes more clear that it's equally important for the filmmaker simply to see as much as she can, as many people as she can, before she's unable.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The film works just fine as an anthology of amiable encounters and improvised collaborations. But it's a lot more than that.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
What a joy it is to have a movie like this in our broken lives right now.
