Review of 8 Women

8 Women (2002)
2/10
Original , but it doesn't mean it's good
7 November 2015
This movie is some sort of weird comedy/criminal/musical movie. I guess that the director wanted to be original just for the sake of being original. Personally , I would rather watch a comedy for the laughs , a thriller for the thrills or musical for the music. "8 femmes" tries to be them all and fails terribly. Or maybe I just don't like this director. I've seen his other movie "The pool" and it was even worse than this one.

The musical parts , the songs are pretty good and nicely singed. The comedy however is non-existent and the mystery is uninvolving.

Acting is decent. The cast involving Catherine Deneuve („Le flic") and Audrey Tatou („Amelia") doesn't show anything spectacular , but nobody gives a bad performance.

Maybe you will like it if you're looking for something original. I don't think I will watch any movie more made by Francois Ozon. I give it 2/10.
