Deborah Ross The Spectator No, it doesn't break new ground, but it does know its own ground perfectly. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... the movie was truly gratifying and fed our SATC appetite, at least until the sequel coming up (can't wait!). Rated: B+ Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Rachel Wagner Hallmarkies Podcast Like watching 3 episodes of the show. It's fine Jan 1, 2023 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Sex and the City is both titillating and conformist. For three of the characters at least, conventional love and marriage apparently bring life's challenges to an end. Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Quite possibly the longest film ever made - or at least it feels that way. Rated: 4/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member What a sad woman. Wasted her whole life misunderstanding how life works and overreacting about men. Patience goes long way as well as common sense which Carrie Bradshaw has none of. Got lucky with the job that made her something but effed up personal life and just wasted it. So stupid. She should have been hitting the self help section heavily the whole time while doing her research on relationships and she missed the whole point that instead of looking on the outside for what’s wrong with the men, just girl, get a self check first. Everything comes from the inside. You are rotten writer that you never even tried to change your perspective and people watch this liner and enjoy and follow and try to act like her and have her life style and people are praising her…. She is the saddest most pathetic woman in NY. What a joke, Carrie bradshaw. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review J.D I I really enjoyed this movie and didn't even notice the 2+ hours go by. I'll happily watch other movies based on these fabulous ladies (and gents). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Tom F Almost 2.5 hours of watching uninteresting people doing uninteresting things and somehow making everything work out fine. I understand the appeal, but the whole SatC franchise exudes the worst values. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Eduarda D é sempre bom ver as meninas juntas mas foi uma pena ver a série que fugia tantos dos padrões machistas reforçando ideias antiquadas. foi uma grande decepção pra mim, não foi comovente, só gerou raiva dos personagens que não sabiam se comunicar entre si, e não dava para compreender os sentimentos deles. terminei esse filme com muita raiva!!!!!! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Jay P Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Heart-warming. I am a guy, and loved this show and movie. Amazing women. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Ashley O It was like fan fiction for the television show. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it did not have quite the same relatable day-to-day beat that gave the show its appeal. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
