7.6 / 10 – IMDB

“beyond Vagabond’s quiet defiance, the film is so startling because its protagonist is a woman. We’ve seen male drifters and loners throughout film history. A man alone has a reason, and his isolation is therefore noble.”

“A male drifter is doing penance for something for which he was found innocent but for which he cannot forgive himself. A woman alone is crazy.”

“Mona doesn’t care if you watch or not. I am not here for you to figure out, I imagine her saying—because like me, she says so very little. Try to judge me, she says, flipping off the camera. Try to pin me down, she says to her audience. I terrify you, don’t I?”
