Jaglom's concentrated approach serves up some insight to be sure, but the movie states its case in the first 10 minutes and then proceeds to run out of things to say, almost as quickly as the women in this movie think they've run out of things to wear.
Top CriticAlleges support of women, yet fetishizes their objects instead of their relationships.
Top Critic[Henry] Jaglom's Going Shopping is a nifty little oddity, another of his unlikely, entertaining movie hybrids.
Top CriticIt's the last and least successful of indie director Henry Jaglom's trilogy looking at female issues.
Top CriticThe trouble with Going Shopping is that it's clogged with personalities and styles that don't congeal.
Top CriticGoing Shopping is sharp and funny about all the things that shopping can mean to the women who live to do it, and even to those who don't.
Top CriticAt times movies seem rife with misogyny, yet Jaglom consistently expresses a love for women in his films.
Top CriticInadvertently reduces women to a variety of cliches, probably reinforcing many men's worst fears.
Top CriticNot only is indulgence a frequent subject for Jaglom, it also sums up what his movies do -- and what they demand from their audience, sometimes to tedious degrees.
Top CriticNone of these is a character you want to spend much time with, and even with the diverting guest appearances, this is still strictly discount merchandise.
Top CriticComes as close as any film to explaining what the deal is with women and shopping.
Top Critic[Has] enough moments of insight to blunt charges of sexist stereotyping.
Top CriticZeroes in on retail mania with a flimsy wire hanger of a premise.
Top CriticGoing Shopping...has enough smart, knowing touches and enough easy spontaneity among its well-chosen actors to make you wish it added up to more than what it turns out to be: a flighty, motor-mouthed cinematic divertissement.
Top CriticHenry Jaglom's latest study of contemporary female obsessions among a noxious clan of West L.A. bourgeoisie is of more pathological than cinematic interest.
