CommentsXp Best movie ever!
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
daoldiges I'd heard small bits about this film and mostly from its many admirers, so I was looking forward to checking it out myself. There is quite a bit to enjoy, the tight and often times witty dialogue, along with solid performances by an overall wonderful cast are definitely to this films credit. That the focus seems to be on the most negative female stereotypes and cliches is disappointing and does get a little tiring after a while. Despite some reservations I do think this film is worth checking out though.
steffaneybenson The women is a great movie and comedy. It informs you of self worth and what you deserve and the difficulties of dealing with a cheating man. Its covered throughout with comedy though with Mrs. haynes best friends certain characters ! Silvia being the best, best friend she has ! If it was not for her she wouldn't have known about Stevens affair and she the most round character in the movie. The fashion was also interesting as well , seeing the way it was staged back in the 1930's. Great film. !
MayPiazza The Women is fast paced with a lot of comedic wit. I believe the movie is the way it is because of director George Cukor, who puts his own stylistic spin on Clare Boote Luce's play of the same name. One way Cukor does this is by tying the behavior of each woman to their social status. The movie features phenomenal female leads whose on screen chemistry is incomparable to that of any other during that time. The film shows every side of woman as a sex from vicious to gentle and everything in between. Made during a time where color movies began to emerge, Cukor did implement a fashion show scene in color which made it so much more vibrant and beautiful.
jrich-37411 The Women is a hilariously funny movie. The cast includes all women who are all fabulous at playing their parts. Although only women play in this movie, it is all about men and the issues that these women have with men.Norma Shearer stars in this film as Mary Haines. She finds out that her husband is having an affair and is devastated. Although they end up getting a divorce and her husband ends up being unhappily married to a gold digger, Mary fights for Stephen and her true love for him.This is a fast paced movie which is sure to keep your interest. It is amazing how the camera is used throughout the movie and how fluent the cuts between the scenes are. This is a must see movie.
