“The Gleaners and I is a reflexive and sagacious revelation about alternative ways of living being possible, and perhaps already in practice, but way beyond the radar of any mainstream outlet or point of view. It is clear that Varda is also a veteran film polymath, capable of crafting miracles with a small video camera.” Vlastimir Sudar
“The first great digital film.” Sukhdev Sandhu
“Agnès Varda’s investigation into the cast-offs and castaways of society is both brilliantly funny and well-observed in its meta-textual reflection on the things we reclaim.” Ariel Baska
“So far, the 21st century has been defined by the democratisation of filmmaking equipment and the rise of documentary. Leave it to a veteran like Varda to playfully explore the potential of both.” Peter Debruge
