(1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 69% Fresh Page   1   "...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..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 3/4 "One can't imagine the Meg Ryan remake of The Women, in lieu of which this film was made, being half as much fun."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers "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."   bibloi.com   Boyd van Hoeij C- "Ozon finds women aesthetically pleasing, but has no desire to get close."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "For pure camp value, there are a lot of elements in 8 Women that warrant a look..."   Exclaim!   David Nusair 2.5/4 "The storyline itself isn't anything special...but the impressive cast and catchy songs just about make 8 Women worth watching."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "I can't remember one witty line or one moment of great acting."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "But while he reduces them to moving Barbie dolls, Ozon clearly loves his women. Or, as much as a catty drag queen can."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A "A sensational movie, one so rich, so imaginative, so uninhibited, so full of irony that watching it is a joy of a magnitude rarely experienced at the movies."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B+ "One of the year's most beguiling films...it has the fizz of fine champagne and delivers a wonderful kick."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "Offers as much delicious enjoyment to the viewer as it obviously did to the cast and crew when they were assembling it."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Every seemingly insignificant, color-coded fragment of the picture's makeup coheres into a satisfying whole."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 8/10 "As much fun as you should be allowed to have in the dark while still maintaining possession of your clothes."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5/5 "A fluffy, super saturated 50's chick murder mystery - with songs!"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "Gorgeous actresses and visuals abound, as do witty and biting dialogue and ever more outrageous twists and revelations."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3/5 "This theatrical whim is like a dessert so rich it's almost inedible but too irresistible to put down."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "The musical numbers are what ultimately undo the movie."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik A- "Beautifully constructed, unexpectedly touching, and gorgeous to behold, it's a swirling kaleidoscope of murder, intrigue, and musical numbers that cinematic bon vivants will eagerly devour."   Matinee Magazine   Nick Schager 2.5/5 "There's just enough of a hint at something interesting beneath the surface to make you wish Ozon had actually had the nerve to really go for it."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D+ "Why didn't anybody think of doing this kind of weird Bollywood musical murder mystery before? Maybe because it is a stupid idea."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "[Francois] Ozon creates a retro film that resonates with qualities and concepts that harkens back to the 50’s and 60’s."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Under the pretense of casting a spell of wonder, mystery, joy and despair, all Ozon has really done is set up a dry, lifeless environment in which ironic detachment -- the arch-enemy of all great art -- can flourish like a stingy cactus."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3.5/4 "...the true spirit of the film is in the story of desperate women who will do desperate things to make themselves happy, no matter who they hurt."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 7/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
