      Anton Bitel Little White Lies a deeply cynical portrayal of masculinity bestialised and femininity reified, post mortem and ad infinitum, with the paying viewer as complicit enabler. Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A broadly heartwarming, if strange cautionary tale of hubris, redemption and love. Rated: 5/5 Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst However you approach The Ape Woman, either as a satire on misogyny or as a bizarre piece of exploitation itself, there's no denying that Ferreri's film is a marvellous achievement. Rated: 4/5 Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a substantial, effective film that should be commended to serious cineastes and humanists alike... Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Cinema's bad-boy Marco Ferreri takes his anger out on this grotesque form of exploitation, which was encouraged by society Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Merl Edelman Los Angeles Free Press Annie Girardot and Ugo Tognazzi give beautiful performances, which together with Ferreri's delicate taste and fine eye for detail make this far-out story unbelievably believable.

      Audience Member 6.2/10, my review: http://wp.me/p1eXom-2P1 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member absolutely awesome movie, it won't ever get old. NEVER! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Like all other Marco Ferreri's films, the film is focusing on the relations with women and is provocative. Ferreri took the real story of a woman that look like an Ape (monkey) and her marriage to an opportunist who was 'using' her in entertainment shows. Is she a victim? not in Ferreri's terms ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member tognazzi is always such an asshole in the movies he plays in? yeah, that's why he was big Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
