    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.

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

    The New York Times Dana Stevens

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

    Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

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

    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.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    Movies like 8 Women are essentially made for movie-lovers. You have to have seen overdecorated studio musicals, and you have to know who Darrieux and Deneuve and Beart and Huppert and Ardant are, to get the full flavor. It also helps if you have seen Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap."

    One of the most uplifting and delightful films to have come along this year.
