Reviews for The Women

Review - Women, The

One of those "everybody talk fast over the top of everyone else" movies. Combine that with a lot of unlikable characters and you have an unlikable movie. Notable for only featuring women. Also notable for the pointless fashion show in the middle that was the only part of the movie in color.
