Varda could have stopped after "Cleo From 5 to 7" with the assurance that she'd contributed more to cinema than most directors.
01/01/07
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.
11/21/06
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.

Not every minute is as spirited as Varda would like us to believe, but in the cinema of enchantment this ranks pretty high.

Generally, Mlle. Varda is so absorbed with her camera stunts, as she is in that scene in the hat shop or when she is screening that comedy short, that the essential concentration on the heroine is neglected and the interest lost.

Top CriticAs good as almost any entry from the French New Wave...a devastating portrait of running out of time...

By most accounts, photographer-turned-director Agnès Varda is considered the archetypal girl who crashed the big boys’ clubhouse, and Cléo from 5 to 7 was the film that paid her membership fee.

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.
04/03/03
Told in real time, Agnès Varda's film has tons of heart and brains to match.
