      San Francisco Chronicle

      So original, so funny, so alive with drama, intrigue, mystery and colors that you want to see it again and again.

      Washington Post

      Really, really good -- Yes, it's over the top, giddy and parodistic (God bless it). But it also takes a thoughtful, if surreptitious, look at what eight women might act like when men aren't around.

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

      If you simply love Vogue magazine, you'll love 8 Women just as much as the cinematically educated. This breezy entertainment often feels like an exquisitely photographed fashion layout come to life.

      Rolling Stone

      Whatever you call this one-of-a-kind bonbon spiked with wit and malice, it's classic oo-la-la.

      New Times (L.A.)

      It's pretty safe to say that claustrophobic, gay-themed murder mysteries haven't been this much fun since "Deathtrap."

      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.

      New York Daily News

      The movie doesn't remind me so much of the movies of Minnelli or Sirk as it does a lavish parody of "Upstairs, Downstairs," with musical interludes (the divas sing, whether they can or not) that are often as painful to watch as they are audaciously performed.
