The lives of three strangers collide in a bizarre road accident. After the initial turmoil, they decide to handle the aftermath without involving the police. The unlikely trio forge unusual alliances and as their pasts unravel, grow ever closer, unexpectedly discovering a deep sense of kinship.

David Jenkins

Little White Lies

The film has cheap and cheerful vibes, formally stripped back to the core but powered by some game performances and a script that’s lightly peppered with some wry social observation.

Rated: 3/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

This whole fiasco supposedly brings the three women together for a 93-minute non-story, superficially eventful but paralysed by its utter implausibility and dullness.

Rated: 2/5

What She Said

Odds of the fateful accident seem low but we buy it because the story's carefully constructed and embraces life’s ironies, chances and nuances.

Rated: 3/4

Bradley Gibson

Film Threat

A film called Portraits of Dangerous Women would have been better served by being written by women, but Bergamin and co-writer Stephan Teuwissen manage to build an experience that, while inconsistent and slow, still delivers dry, dark humor and drama.

Rated: 7/10

Crooked Marquee

There are a handful of wryly amusing moments, but they don't add up to a full portrait.

Rated: C+

Portraits of Dangerous Women is a quintessential countryside character study. One concealing gentle moments of melodrama, captured in a picture-perfect setting and intriguing from the outset.

A peculiar film, gently amusing and touching. It takes its time, but is ultimately very rewarding. Wonderful performances throughout. Left the cinema with a smile on my face.

Strangely beautiful, with an impressive and skillful cast but the sparse, modernist approach makes for a more challenging view. Original, intriguing, with some stunning scenes.

Yes, this is worth a viewing. Enchanting, poignant and actually pretty funny. It's a well-crafted movie that wants to entertain its audience. Still in my thoughts. Rich, fresh, visually wonderful. Bit special.

The more I think about this movie, the more I appreciate it. It's creativity is situational and intense. It's in the cuts, in the script and in the music. The way the shots have been filmed is comical and bizzare which I love. The main question - what does a man know about dangerous women? I would say nothing. There are no dangerous women in this movie, it's a prank.

Can’t figure out what it’s trying to be. Tara Fitzgerald does an admirable job but the script is all over the place and there’s know heart to come back to.
