    San Francisco Chronicle | Jonathan Curiel

    So original, so funny, so alive with drama, intrigue, mystery and colors that you want to see it again and again. Read full review

    Washington Post | Michael O'Sullivan

    Really, really good -- Yes, it's over the top, giddy and parodistic (God bless it). But it also takes a thoughtful, if surreptitious, look at what eight women might act like when men aren't around. Read full review

    Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

    Whatever you call this one-of-a-kind bonbon spiked with wit and malice, it's classic oo-la-la. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

    The result is weightless entertainment that's both camp and true, a warped adoration of star-quality actresses as amazing creatures who can project the lives of fictional characters as well as the essence of their own fabulous selves. Read full review

    Movies like 8 Women are essentially made for movie-lovers.

    The New York Times | Dana Stevens

    Indefensible, cynical, even grotesque; it is also pure -- that is to say innocent and uncorrupted -- fun. Read full review

    Variety | Lisa Nesselson

    For all its careful plotting, some viewers may find the exercise ultimately hollow and nasty, but thesps make the experience completely worthwhile. Read full review

    Wall Street Journal | Joe Morgenstern

    The cast is the main attraction in Francois Ozon's witty, even touching 8 Women. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Manohla Dargis

    Although it starts off vaguely amusing, 8 Women grows progressively sour, curdled by the filmmakers' bad faith and lack of compassion. It isn't just the tone that's off; it's the point. Read full review
