The lecture style and talking-head format might feel a little heavy at times, but it allows the audience to watch a legend of cinema take stock of her life’s work and share some last bits of wisdom. Perhaps most likely to be of interest to cinephiles and film buffs, ‘Varda by Agnès’ is an ultra-accessible piece of work which, on viewing, feels like listening to a wise and beloved grandmother speak for nearly two hours. - Jake Watt
