Amazon.com:
The cream of France's cinema sirens star in the deliciously candy-colored 8 Femmes, a murder mystery speckled with ornate performances that play up the public image of the actresses themselves. Eight women find themselves snowbound in a house with a dead man--a man each of them (his wife, sister, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, daughters, housekeeper, and chambermaid) had reason to kill. Secrets tumble forth, accusations fly, catfights flare, and confrontations turn steamy, all accompanied by campy performances of 1960s French pop songs. At first, these musical numbers seem like pure kitsch, comic and entertaining, but over the movie's course, they become strangely touching. Catherine Deneuve, Danielle Darrieux, Virginie Ledoyen, Fanny Ardant, Emmanuelle Beart, Isabelle Huppert, Ludivine Sagnier, and Firmine Richard are all superb, investing their cardboard characters with a strange emotional resonance--and their costumes are exquisite. An entrancing piece of giddy fluff. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Waste of time and money
If you have no taste....no morals......and are tone deaf and have time to waste then this movie is for you. What a bomb.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 8 curious women
The story was interesting from beginning to end. the actors are briliant and the twists along the story are each time more revealing!! A very good movie with the best actresses from France! What more do you want!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 8 Women, where the murder is almost irrelevant, the songs are great and the women...ah, the women
8 Women is a lightweight, stylish and funny murder mystery. But forget the murder. The movie really is a terrific excuse to have several of France's greatest actresses strut their stuff. We might as well get the plot out of the way quickly. There's a snowed-in country home, elegant looking and filled with elegant women. A man is found dead and one of the women in the house killed him. Who and why?

In addition to the male corpse, there's the corpse's wife, his mother-in-law, his two ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A mystery story worthy of Hitchcock
I really enjoyed this movie. It is a thriller/mystery where a murder has been committed and it is plain that it has to be one of 8 women, but who exactly. Everyone appears to have a good reason to have committed the act and the accusations, jealousies and intrigues are rife.

A treat to have some of the very top French actresses all in the same film and the acting is great.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very cute and clever modern murder mystery
This musical is a feel-good without making you feel bad for feeling good. It is fun, hip, cute, the clothes are adorable. The acting is great. The songs aren't painful and the plot is classic. I think the concept of this movie is great. The end.
