Review of 8 Women

8 Women (2002)
6/10
So Bad That It's Good
2 August 2009
Eight women are stranded at a snow-bound country house and there's a dead body. Whodunit? This is one of those films that's so bad that it's good - to an extent. It's based on a play and it looks like a low-budget filmed stage play except for the high-priced cast of Who's Who of French actresses. The script is amateurish, the direction is sloppy, and the acting ranges from bad to terrible. What makes it bearable and a curiosity piece is the campiness (it touches on teen pregnancy, adultery, lesbianism, incest, and suicide) and the vampy songs, belted out of the blue by each of the women through the course of the film. Ledoyen and Sagnier have the catchiest tunes.
