	8 femmes / Francois Ozon / Huit femmes / 8 Women
		In a sense 8 femmes is the ultimate parody of the kind of films the French directors of the New Wave rebelled against — films which were merely vehicles for popular film stars, almost totally bereft of any intellectual or artistic content.
		The appeal of 8 femmes is that it is the opposite of what it appears to be (namely, a straightforward spoof).
		Ozon’s decision to cast her in 8 femmes in the film’s most over-the-top character was a calculated risk - he envisaged Huppert as a playing a female equivalent of Louis de Funès - but the gamble paid off.

	8 Women
		They assemble together for an adaptation of Robert Thomas' play, by Ozon and Marina de Van (Under the Sand, Alias), a screwball whodunit comedy that was most likely intended to be light and fluffy.
		Everybody is suspect, from Marcel's wife Gaby (Catherine Deneuve, The Musketeer, Dancer in the Dark) to the new housekeeper Louise (Emmaneuelle Beart, Les Destinees, La Buche), to Col. Mustard.
		8 Women would work if it achieved the playful, zany feeling that Ozon is going for, but it never quite makes it there.

	Berlin 2002 REVIEW: Celebrating the Artificial; Ozon Fills the Screen with "8 Femmes"
		"8 Femmes" is populated uniquely by the eight females figured in the title -- a matriarch, played by the 40's grand dame Danielle Darrieux, two embattled sisters (Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Huppert), Deneuve's daughters (Virginie Ledoyen and a less well-known Ludivine Sagnier), Deneuve's vampy sister-in-law Fanny Ardant, and two maids (Emanuelle Béart and Firmine Richard).
		It is his murder around which the whole of "8 Femmes" turns, however, and thus he functions more than a bit like Mr.
		Kaplan, the absent center of Hitchcock's masterpiece "North By Northwest." Owing to the superficial similarity of the murder mystery motif, facile comparisons with Altman's "Gosford Park" have abounded here (where the latter is also showing), but the two films couldn't be more different in aim or method.

		From French director Francois Ozon, 8 WOMEN is a character drama and musical set in a country home during Christmastime in the 1950s.

		8 Femmes takes place in a remote house where there are indeed eight women, one of whom may have killed the only man in the house.

	[No title]
		François Ozon's 8 femmes is a daringly original piece of musical murder mystery/comedy that star some of France's most glamorous and talented actresses.
		An estrogen-filled soap opera with class that treads the fine line between masterpiece and disaster, 8 femmes has become an international hit and a classic in its own right under Ozon's direction, along with his eight secret weapons, the women.
		Apart from the cinematic references to the Hollywood films of Douglas Sirk and George Cukor, 8 femmes also touches on some of the more personal references that are both funny and moving.

	AboutFilm.com - 8 Women, aka 8 Femmes (2002)
		When the parts make no sense together, and when the stated purpose of the film, to celebrate women, is undercut by the content.
		8 Women is a pastiche of an Agatha Christie murder mystery, classic Hollywood musicals such as the films of Vincente Minnelli, and trashy modern camp like Wild Things.
		Just when one element of the film becomes absorbing (the intriguing whodunit, the appealing musical numbers, or perhaps even the catty lesbianism), the film abruptly shifts to a different mode, and you mentally veer back and forth to keep up.

	BBC - Films - review - 8 Women (8 femmes)
		As if the mounting ridiculousness of each confession and revelation wasn't enough, each woman has her own song-and-dance routine through which to indulge herself and expound her character, with varying degrees of humour and emotion.
		From its elegantly vintage set to the 50s-style Technicolor, "8 Women" oozes camp artifice as much as it does acting talent, with each woman sending up her public persona and revelling in the fabulousness of it all - a complete stylistic U-turn from Ozon's previous film, "Under the Sand".
		Subtle it certainly isn't, but there's an underlying tenderness towards these fatal femmes and an upbeat humour that buoys "8 Women" and puts some oomph behind all the fluff.

		That is why 8 Women has an unsettlingly whimsical tone to it.

		The “8 Women” he has assembled represent some of the finest talent in France – Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardent, Isabelle Huppert, and Emmanuel Beart make up half the cast!

	AfterEllen.com - Review of 8 Women / 8 Femmes
		Deneuve is excellent here as usual, however, transitioning back and forth between being a hard, bitter wife and mother to a woman fighting attraction to her sister-in-law Pierrette, whom she publicly scorns.
		Fanny Ardent is very convincing as Pierrette, and she makes Pierrette appealing by exuding a warmth and vitality that contrasts sharply with the more somber countenance of the other women.
		Overall, 8 Women is a fun, memorable film with many layers that provides a campy but still realistic portrait of a group of women whose sexuality and ethics are not easily defined.

	Jigsaw Lounge - 8 Women
		Spoofy murder-mystery farce 8 Femmes is what Gosford Park might have been like if John Waters and Jacques Demy had gotten their gaudy mitts on it.
		In a snow-bound mansion in 1950s France, teenager Catherine (Ludivine Sagnier) tells her shocked family she’s found her ‘Papa’ dead in bed, apparently murdered.
		Adapted from a half-forgotten play by Robert Thomas, 8 Femmes makes no attempt to hide its anachronistic atmosphere of amateur-dramatics, even with such a high-calibre cast.

	8 Women (2002): Reviews
		The secret to enjoying 8 Women is to check your analytical mind at the popcorn counter and settle back for almost two hours of cinematic mischief.
		The movie doesn't remind me so much of the movies of Minnelli or Sirk as it does a lavish parody of "Upstairs, Downstairs," with musical interludes (the divas sing, whether they can or not) that are often as painful to watch as they are audaciously performed.
		8 Women would probably be a looser, giddier salute to show-biz ideas of femininity if it were performed by eight drag queens.

	Talk to Me Harry Winston: 8 Femmes
		Conceptually speaking, Francois Ozon’s 8 Femmes (2002) should be a minor treat to any connoisseur of Classical Hollywood...
		Although 8 Femmes is blessed with the presence of a handful of legendary actresses (Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Fanny Ardant), as well as respected veteran Emmanuelle Béart and promising up-and-comers, Ledoyen and Sagnier, their fine acting could not compensate for the fact that the color-coordinated sets appeared to be just that - sets.
		Alas, 8 Femmes felt increasingly like an eye-catching vaudeville act exhaustingly extended to two hours.
