Reviews for 8 Women
Cheesy and implausible, pink-cheeked and mad, 8 Women is a hysterical and purposefully vulgar film — a cynical shock tactic that nevertheless argues for the unsinkable dignity of the human beast.

Proves to be a pleasant romp.

Leave your sense of reason at the door and surrender yourself to the oo-la-laughs.

Klopt elementen van een Agatha Christie whodunnit, een frivole chansonmusical en de kleurrijke melodramas van Douglas Sirk op tot een luchtige souffle, als is de kooktijd wel wat lang.

I love this film.

Even if some of the references are inscrutable, a lot of 8 Women is a riot.

Enjoins eight of France's finest actresses in a giddily amusing Agatha Christie-style whodunit.

There cannot be many people who wouldn't want to pay to see Deneuve smash a bottle over the head of an old woman in a wheelchair.

Watching 8 Women, you have a silly grin half of the time.

Top CriticAn ebullient toast to grande dames: part homage, part camp, all artifice and a thoroughly entertaining, if light, confection.

Top CriticThe secret to enjoying 8 Women is to check your analytical mind at the popcorn counter and settle back for almost two hours of cinematic mischief.

Excepcional policial-comédia-drama-musical com um elenco fabuloso, direção de arte e figurinos notáveis e direção firme e elegante de Ozon.

...a través de la canción, los personajes hablan de su verdadero sentir o de su estado de ánimo, un monólogo profundo pero en pleno toque cómico...

A fluffy, super saturated 50's chick murder mystery - with songs!
01/25/03
This film would be worth watching for no other reason than to see so many stars of French (and international) cinema on one screen.
09/20/02
The movie finds a spiritedness in its characters so likeable that it's nearly impossible to take the misogynist conclusion seriously.
10/07/02
This Ozon comes much closer to the nasty little prankster that I liked so much with Sitcom.
09/27/02
The genre-bender of the year is intermittently involving.
