rotten:
The script jettisons most of the book's more powerful sections, upping the political angle and inexplicably eliminating motivations that made the strongly feminist story, rich in symbolism, so intriguing.

fresh:
It's a celebration of women's resilience in the face of absolute patriarchy, an oppression that's felt on personal, cultural, and political levels.

rotten:
Women Without Men has compelling stretches, but the film's formal concerns overwhelm the storytelling.
