Audience Member This was a rental because I was keen at the time to track down other work from Olivia Bonamy after really liking her in a few things, and this one sorta felt rather mediocre for my tastes. The synopsis alleged that it was about three women trying to help one another get their lives together, but more often than not they just bickered and made bad decisions like sleeping with a friend's ex-boyfriend, so I kinda checked out after awhile. Rental? Maybe? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Un ovni, on adore ou on deteste. J'adore!!!!!! Un film qui me remonte le moral car:" Quand ça va pas je pense a Diana, j'suis pas comme elle j'verrais le bout du tunnel!" Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Il y a un esprit arty un peu redhibitoire dans ce brelan de dames moderne, quelque chose qui tient a cet univers flashy et trop recherche pour etre honnete, a ce parti-pris "comedie musicale" a la Francois Ozon et a quelques sequences intello-hermetiques limite peine-a-jouir. "Filles perdues, cheveux gras" ressemble parfois a une succession de courts-metrages plus ou moins mis en ordre pour faire un film complet. Pourtant, cette realisation tres atypique parvient a susciter l'interet de ceux que les caracteristiques evoquees plus haut rebutent habituellement. Tout simplement parce qu'elle est dotee d'un reel grain de folie et qu'a l'occasion, elle decoche l'un ou l'autre de ces traits d'humour hyper acide qui font plaisir a entendre ! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Bon et suprenant film malgré les raccourcis humoristiques parfois navrants. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
