Seduction is more important than deduction in this chic display of star quality to the eighth power.

For all the tumultuous entrances and flouncing exits, the eight principals manage maybe three laughs among them.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

A note of genuine sadness sneaks through at the end, but for the most part, enjoying 8 Women involves coming to terms with its artificiality and learning to appreciate it from a distance. Behind all that thick glass, it's still a work of art.
Scott Tobias, AV Club

The cast is the main attraction in Francois Ozon's witty, even touching 8 Women.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Fresh
The writing is very clever and it is a hoot watching the celebrated cast ham it up.
