A masterful collection of cinematic essays.

Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir
Varda's photography is a pure joy, but rereleasing this film four decades later, absent any commentary on the ironic distance between then and now, is a typically challenging gesture.

Variety Lisa Nesselson
Varda renders the political personal and the personal universal.

Village Voice J. Hoberman
A work of great charm and bold aesthetic impurity, Agnès Varda's Cinévardaphoto is a suite of documentary shorts.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis
The unutterably charming Cinévardaphoto brings together three short works by the filmmaker Agnès Varda, one shot in digital video, the others on celluloid.

What lights Cinèvardaphoto is Varda's ageless ability to merge her spirit with that of the images she shows us.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Although Cinevardaphoto is hardly a major work, it does represent the latest (and earlier) chapters in the career of a fascinating filmmaker.

TV Guide Ken Fox
A welcome introduction to yet another facet of an artist who continues to beguile well into her seventies.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
Someone as attuned as Varda to the quality of an image should know that a flat, disposable medium like video makes images harder to internalize.

New York Post Russell Scott Smith
Sitting through three totally unrelated documentaries in a row -- with all that puzzling (subtitled) dialogue and those long (enigmatic) silences? That's a migraine waiting to happen.
