Two women friends across fifteen years.
Sinekatalog’s take
Agnès Varda's feminist musical follows two friends through fifteen years of choices about motherhood, work and independence. Warm, sunny and songful, with Valérie Mairesse and Thérèse Liotard, it is a hopeful, politically alive film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
