8 Women (2002) review

Ozon lets you know in the first five minutes exactly what he thinks about the material - just look at these idiot broads - and that lack-of-endearment affects the rest of the film, which can be best described as The Young Girls of Rochefort as done by Agatha Christie (all the ladies get their own song-and-dance number). As the film progresses, it becomes more labyrinthine, with all of the characters acting goofy and/or suspicious and hiding something personal about their whereabouts during the night in question - about half of them have homosexual yearnings and one or two engage in incest - leading to an ending that could have been good, but then quickly ruins itself before being faced with a potentially fascinating final confrontation.
