The artworks were fascinating. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I found it enchanting. It was great to be in the company of so many lovely people. If only Agnes & JR could rule the world. I would happily have watched them for another few hours.

Delightful road trip film with photographer and film director travelling through rural France. Particularly enjoyed the relationship between the young man and the older lady. A 'feelgood movie'

A charming, quirky film which offers insights to the French way of life, past and present, the beauty of the landscape, and shows how attractive and articulate French people are in several walks of life. The developing relationship between the filmmakers was a pleasure to watch. I loved every minute of it.

What an absolute delight from beginning to end. The relationship between Agnes and JR was totally captivating. Beautifully filmed and their projects to photograph and paste up their pics was spellbinding.

Sorry - not my type - seemed a bit pointless.

Odd - rather dull, no comedic/action/clear plot - hard to follow.
