The Women Reviews
As one member of the female sex trying to be honest, we'll have to confess that we squirmed, but also admit that we saw many of our sisters in their true life characters.

Joan Crawford gives her best performance in several seasons as Crystal; Paulette Goddard brings striking good looks and expert playing to the ex-show girl who walks off with Miss Russell's husband; and Joan Fontaine is a lamb among the wolves.

As one woman to another -- DON'T miss The Women, girls -- but better leave papa at home.
| May 25, 2021
The new film is one of the glossiest items of the year, fast comedy superbly cast and capably performed.

The entire cast is so good that it's hard to do any more than hand each individual a separate laurel wreath.

Brilliantly witty.

The cavalcade of actresses expresses the story of casual backbiting and livid jealousy with a prodigious degree of accomplishment.

This very long film is an affair of episodes, many very brisk and entertaining, with detailed satire in the cynical American manner, but a few very slow and desperately sentimental.

Norma Shearer does her work charmingly.

The sly-cat Russell delineation stands out, I'd say.

The Women, like its original, is a mordant, mature description of the social decay of one corner of the U. S. middle classes.

The picture is a triumph for nearly everyone who had anything to do with It.

Directing ensemble scenes with upwards of half a dozen divas is no easy feat - leave it to Cukor to corral this kind of star power into a two hour-plus film that never takes a break to powder its nose.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 4, 2019
It's exhilaratingly funny.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 4, 2019
Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell are a few among many of those purring, silken, clawing females so cleverly and mercilessly fashioned.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 18, 2018
A film that deserves to be seen (or seen again).
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 11, 2008
Every M.G.M. woman star except Myrna Loy is in The Women -- Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard. And they make a curiously uneven job of Clare Boothe's savagely satirical comedy.
| Sep 11, 2008
The catty banter and Wildean aphorisms (some of them contributed by Anita Loos) are delivered with impeccable timing by a cast only MGM could have mustered.
| Sep 11, 2008
[Cukor is] at his best with a cast that includes Rosalind Russell, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Hedda Hopper, Ruth Hussey, Paulette Goddard, and Joan Fontaine.
| Sep 11, 2008
Story is essentially lightweight and trivial, held together throughout by excellent sketching of satirical episodes and dialog, punchy lines, and the intimate chatter of the women.
