"Mad Women" is punishingly dull and apparently aimless, without any real conflict driving the story, just confounding and ridiculous interactions among the characters.
The plot of "Mad Women" is ridiculous, unmotivated and "shocking," but that wouldn't be an issue at all if there had been some attempt at style, or mood, or a point of view.
This film overstays its welcome and has pacing problems. But its eclectic characters certainly linger.
It's a good thing writer-director Jeff Lipsky is a film distributor in real life. He's his own best hope for getting this dreck out there.
Things just happen to the Smith family, with illness and incarceration treated like trials to be endured.
Bold and well-acted, but undercooked, lackluster and overlong. It ultimately bites off more than it can chew.
[Mad Women] all too often feels as smug and self-satisfied as [its main characters], all of whom feel less like characters than wacky improv exercises.
